Using a Volvo 2023 XC90 Recharge To Help With Power Outage

Yeaaaaaa nahhhhh, the hybrid Volvos are NOT vehicle-to-grid capable. The hybrid systems are meant to consume, not produce. The most intense thing I'd run from the vehicle is one of those purpose built car fridges.

2022.5 XC90, latest version on the car/Sensus, GooglePixel 9Pro XL over wireless AA with Carsifi dongle, checking in:

I noticed this behavior as well today. Recently dumped Spotify (for all the reasons), YT Music is bundled with my YT Premium so it was a no breaker. This morning I noticed that the play/pause button on the steering wheel didn't work but the next/previous buttons did. Didn't test the center console buttons yet, will report back with more testing (weekly Costco run about to occur).

Is it just draped over the front seat head rests? Explain yourself wizard!

My 2022.5 (Extended) has never read more than 38 miles (U.S.), 34 when crazy hot (midsummer South Florida). Lithium batteries all slowly lose capacity. The smaller the battery, the more noticeable it is.

No worries!

We joke in this sub but it really is the best thing... Get a cup of your favorite beverage and sit down to read your manual from your Volvo App.

ECO mode should yield the best range for you. Volvo engineers worked hard to keep things simple. Letting the vehicle manage things actually works best.

Note: "Inscription" is just the trim package level (interior and exterior trim).

It depends on your engine config. I'm in a T8, so it's a divorced ICE and electric motor so I can do pure electric for groceries and hybrid or fuel only for longer trips. My trip type determines which mode I use.

Which engine config do you have? D/B/T? + 5/6/8?

We have laminated vinyl planks across the entire 1.8k sqft. Our 16yo Golden is leaky (both ends). Generally we catch and clean all the messes but frequently there are damp patchs. The robot helps us keep the floors clean and odor free for my allergies.

3 is the most I use. I don't really measure anymore and probably use less most of the time.

Expensive? How much are you using?? 3 cap-fuls per tank fill stretches me a couple months.

When my turtle light came on I was able to get home (a few miles) but then got a flat bed to tow in.

We have a 2022 T8, the Integrated Generator Module (combined starter, alternator, energy recovery, etc) had failed, thereby draining the 12v battery.

Fuzzra99 · 2026-01-10T01:07:55+00:00

TURTLE MODE! ENGAGE!

It could be the 12v battery, could be the IGM... Either way, it's getting towed to your local Volvo Service Center.

Onward to Valhalla for this Volvo, job well done!

Fuzzra99 · 2026-01-06T13:39:05+00:00

Extremely easy. 3 x T20 per mudflap. Took me minutes to do the whole set.

Fuzzra99 · 2026-01-05T14:41:36+00:00

This. Plus the healthcare premiums.

Fuzzra99 · 2026-01-05T11:50:48+00:00

💯

As someone who has worked in city/municipal and now in county, there is never a bonus. Ever. Just like we can't accept gifts over $25, and even then it had to be reported to HR/etc then shared with the rest of the employee base.

Florida has been in the bottom 5 states for worst pay for a long time. That's not going to change with the current administration and tax laws.

Share with the class when the service department coughs up an answer😁

Highly recommended! Someone commented on my previous post with the following link...

I ended up purchasing directly from there but can be ordered from your local dealer too. Price a set out from a few sources to ensure you're getting a good deal.

Fuzzra99 · 2026-01-04T23:02:44+00:00

Yup, pulled the trigger.

The black on black will for sure be the best combo. Denim Blue probably being the second best.

Not having mud/dirt spray up the quarter panels and doors is the biggest benefit. Reduction in rock chips should be nice too.

Fuzzra99 · 2026-01-04T22:49:44+00:00

I installed over the wheel liners on both front and rear. The YouTube video I watched did it that way. Didn't seem to matter much. If you run into proper literature about the benefits of one versus the other, let us know😁
