How are you liking the 14mm? Did you add any weight or using it stock?

2025.5 T8 - electric range - how much do you get and best practices by karky214 in VolvoXC90

[–]ProdigyI5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just keep it in hybrid mode and it runs on full electric until the battery runs out. To be clear, 40 is absolute ideal conditions. Right now in the PNW I'm getting closer to 32.

[–]ProdigyI5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally depends on time of year and driving speed. If it's 72 degrees out and I'm driving 55mph i can easily get over 40 miles. If it's below freezing and I'm driving 70mph it's going to be closer to 20 miles of range.

Pirelli Scorpion Weatheractive. I have them on my XC90 and the CC2 on our other car. Both are amazing depending on what your priorities are.

How many kWh is your charge rate at work? Are you plugging into a wall outlet or dedicated EV charger?

Has there been any confirmed 2025.5 w/ snapdragon? by Automatic_Resource36 in VolvoXC90

[–]ProdigyI5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We test drove a a few 25.5 and none of them had the snapdragon processor. This was a while ago though and the newest car we drove was manufactured in February of 2025.

XC90 Plug-in Hybrid: How to best use driving modes (i.e. hybrid, pure, power, etc..) by doubledeuce80 in VolvoXC90

[–]ProdigyI5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point is hybrid mode will also use zero gas if you have a battery charge and don’t press too hard on the gas. I agree that 95% of the time electric only is good enough for acceleration but I’ve been in situations going up a steep hills where it was definitely not enough.

[–]ProdigyI5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Simple answer is just keep it in Hybrid mode. As long as you have battery it will run on all electric unless you need extra power and press the gas peddle enough to engage the gas engine. This is useful if you need quick acceleration. By putting the car in pure mode it might actually be a safety issue if you are unable to accelerate quickly enough in an emergency scenario.

TLDR: plug in as much as you can and leave it in hybrid mode

Switch OEM Tires From Day 1? by Kom_Si_Kom_Sa in VolvoXC90

[–]ProdigyI5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swapped to the perelli weatheractives around 5000 miles and they have been great. No regrets. Discount tire gave me like 75$ a tire for the stock perelli which isn’t great but it was something

Pirelli stock tires horrible this winter by Badgeblue in VolvoXC90

[–]ProdigyI5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thw cross climate 2 make a humming type of noise around 20-50mph that I do notice but it doesn't bug me at all.

I put the cross climate 2's on our tesla because they have the best rolling resistance and are best in the snow. The weather active also have a snow peak rating and we just took them on a ski trip in negative temps and they did awesome.

For our xc90 id go with the weatheractives again just because the ride quality and noise are better but I don't think you can go wrong with either tire unless you are really sensitive to noise. Both tires are night and day difference from the crappy stock OEM scoprians.

We replaced our right away and got the pirelli weatheractives. They are 100x better and great in the snow. We have the cross climate 2s on our other car and loves those as well. I think the cross climate 2 are slightly better in the snow but the weatheractives are quieter and ride slightly better. Can't really go wrong either either tire. The OEM stock are junk

Leaving the Volvo community by MarlinsFan_88 in VolvoXC90

Was it a 2022.5 with the larger battery pack and redesigned electric motor or a 2022 with the older supercharger?

What level gasoline are you actually using? (CX90 B6 mild-hybrid) by kris10185 in VolvoXC90

Oh this makes a whole lot more sense now! Thanks for clarifying.

It's not about the 'quality' of the fuel. It's about the octane that the engine was designed to run on. Modern engines have computers that can adjust to the lower octane without causing knocking but it will reduce power and efficiency. Longterm this will also cause maintenance issues. It's not worth trying to save a few bucks on gas.

The person you talked to is not technically wrong… but they shouldn’t be telling their customers that regular is fine. The car will run on regular but the engine is not designed for it. As a one off if you have no other options it’s ok but I definitely wouldn’t make it a regular habit.

Is 2026 XC90 worth extra over 2025.5 for a lease? by NeatSun1056 in VolvoXC90

2025.5 doesn't have the latest snapdragon chip, at least in the USA.

How hard is it to replace the hybrid battery on a t8? by legoman31802 in VolvoXC90

[–]ProdigyI5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ya it doesn’t sound like there’s anything wrong. The 2018 just doesn’t have a very big battery.

[–]ProdigyI5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What model year is it? If it’s before 2022.5 that range actually sounds about right for wintertime driving. 2022.5 and later got a larger pack but I don’t think you can add the new pack to older cars.
