XC90 T8 winter electric range

Cold cuts plug-in hybrid electric range harder than full EVs, because the small battery has less energy to spare for heating. We estimate 70% of rated electric range at 0°C and 55% at −20°C. Below roughly −10°C, many plug-in hybrids start the engine to heat the cabin or battery even with charge left, so some winter driving will use gas regardless.

Can you commute on electricity?

If your round trip is under about 47 km in mild weather, or about 26 km in a cold snap, you can usually do it without burning gas, as long as you plug in every night. That means a one-way commute of up to roughly 13 km can stay electric all year. A full Level 2 charge takes about 5 hours.

The XC90 T8 ranks #18 of 30 plug-in hybrids in this directory by electric range.
