2500 miles in to the road trip, and 100 miles from home - on the final charging stop of the trip - the #Volvo #XC40Recharge decided it would not charge. The #VolvoRoadsideAssistance & dealership responses were significantly less than ideal. Not a good look Volvo. 7 months and 12k miles on this #Electric #XC40 and with all its quirks (including #AndroidAutomotive ) I am questioning if I can recommend it. #VolvoCars #VolvoElectric

Even thought it’s only 40 mm wider than my previous car, after almost a year, I’m still not good with driving the #Volvo #XC60Recharge in tight spaces.

I think I’ll have to get a smaller SUV next time.

I’m also still hating how it doesn’t have an auto-parking feature.
I used to use it all the time in my previous cars.

In 3 years, Australia should be sufficiently electrified for me to switch to a full electric. Perhaps an #EX30 or a #XC40Recharge.

America the Beautiful.

Did the North Cascades scenic byway loop in our electric Volvo. There is not yet any fast-charging infrastructure on WA20 in the stretch between US97 and I5 - so it took a little bit of planning and a 2 hour lunch stop in Winthrop for a bit of a L2 charge…

All in all we did about 800 miles this weekend - our first all electric road trip.
