Volvo V60 TWIN ENGINE 2018 Owner's Manual page 465

Factors the driver cannot influence
There are several external factors that affect the
range in varying degrees:
traffic situation
•
short driving distances
•
topography
•
outside temperature and headwind
•
road condition and surface.
•
The table shows the approximate relationship
between outside temperature and range, both in
a car with deactivated passenger compartment
climate control, as well as in a car with normal
passenger compartment climate control.
A warmer outside temperature has a positive
effect on range to a certain extent.

car in an energy-efficient manner:
regular charging
•
preconditioning
•
drive mode
•
climate settings
•
speed and acceleration
•
Hold
• function
tyres and tyre pressure.
•
The table shows the approximate relationship
between constant speed and range, where a
lower constant speed has a positive effect on
range.
