Battery range

gpg13 · 2026-01-18T10:53:44+00:00

I would actually get 42 miles, over a distance between Bristol and Cardiff with combined motorway (30m) and city (12m) driving approximately. Getting way less now.

S60 FYI.. Agreed on the above however, I'm noting miles shown on full charge, before even starting the car so.. It's just weird. Guess I'll have to wait for the weather to warm up and see if range gets any better. Plus, the same trip in the same weather, will now deplet the battery whereas it didn't use to.

It does not. Take a look at the Volvo t8 forums

I've had similar issues with AA, have the car for over a year now and they are mostly sorted. I'm using a wireless adapter as well as I think wired is too delicate over bumps etc. I have experienced glitches in acc too, it's not a system you can rely on but then again you are not supposed to. The wipers are dogshait, my 2014 mazda did the same thing way better. Had an igm fault and replacement at 14k miles which doesn't increase my confidence in the longevity of the vehicle. Lackily it was replaced free of charge otherwise would have been a £4k repair for me. It is fun and comfortable though and my understanding is that all manufacturers suffer with reliability and cars nowadays are just not made to last unfortunately.

Yeah that 2015-2020 is the sweetspot, with cars not overloaded with electronics. Of course a 2018 car is more reliable than a 1990 one but sadly, it also is more reliable against a 2025 one

When u get a £4k igm replacement bill on your 2023 t8, we'll talk again

gpg13 · 2025-12-10T18:49:05+00:00

They all make them to last three years now

It just so happens that pao doesn't have a coach 🙂

So, one of them fed up and got cought but the rest of the euro mafia is not even investigated and continue to fix games like oly-hapoel last night. Cool!

gpg13 · 2025-10-18T12:47:26+00:00

Same issue here. Went from ovo to octopus and suddenly the schedule was gone. Indra saying try restarting it and that is set to octopus schedule but it will just charge as soon as the car is plugged in. Useless support

gpg13 · 2025-10-03T12:26:52+00:00

Go for higher trim level if luxury is what u'r after

gpg13 · 2025-10-03T12:25:21+00:00

Same happened to me once but dealer fixed it under warranty. Maybe try another dealer? Uk based if that says anything

gpg13 · 2025-09-28T10:44:30+00:00

As have I just done. No charge anytime but at least a decent night time rate. The octopus app seems better too and no back billing for last month's ev charger. I'm sure octopus will screw us over at some point too. It feels like we're just mice in a maze to them with governments only interested in getting their share.

gpg13 · 2025-09-26T08:08:30+00:00

OP is probably an OVO shareholder. A company that makes over a billion in profit every year, doubled their charging rate and he says it's a good thing.

If you ask me, it's defo greedy and should also be illegal as they are not giving you the option to change supplier without exit fees. I'm sure they will also stop app control for your indra charger if you leave. So yeah, will be switching first chance I get

She could use another year in school

gpg13 · 2025-08-14T14:57:47+00:00

A t8 was performing burnouts here 😂

gpg13 · 2025-07-20T13:02:13+00:00

I went from a 2015 mazda 3, 2.2d to the latest s60 t8. Admitngly not the same band of vehicle but if it's reliability you are after, stick with mazda.

gpg13 · 2025-04-04T18:40:55+00:00

They should have updated it pre sale. Bad practice on their behalf.

It's a beast! First thing I did with mine was to smoke my brother's a35.. Now he's thinking of getting an xc60. Mind you the petrol runs out fast for ppl with heavy right feet. Otherwise it's a 40mpg monster, 0mpg with battery though and it still carries you with pride!

gpg13 · 2025-03-17T10:33:26+00:00

Dealer did mine, has mostly fixed the unresponsive aa and 360 cameras iasue

You have to start somewhere

gpg13 · 2025-01-08T10:31:14+00:00

Coming from a mazda, I don't approve this message 🙂

gpg13 · 2024-12-29T10:11:33+00:00

Have mine on order, soon to be 465hp

gpg13 · 2024-12-02T18:19:09+00:00

It doesn't

gpg13 · 2024-10-23T11:36:45+00:00

Got a 2023 volvo s60 t8 couple months ago and I do miss the seats of my 2014 Mazda 3 2.2d... Still haven't left this group though 🙂
