Ning On Electricity - Volvo XC90 Twin Engine 2019 Owner's Manual

STARTING AND DRIVING
Factors that affect range when
running on electricity
The car's range for electric operation depends
on several factors. The ability to achieve a long
range varies according to the circumstances and
conditions under which the car is being driven.
The certified value for the car's mileage on elec-
tric power should not be interpreted as an expec-
ted range. The certification value is a comparative
value obtained by means of special EU drive
cycles. The actual range is dependent on a num-
ber of factors.
Factors that affect the range
The driver can influence some factors, but has no
influence over others.
The longest range is achieved under extremely
favourable conditions when all factors have a
positive impact.
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
480
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.

Factors the driver can influence
The driver should be aware that the following fac-
tors affect the range so he/she can operate the
car in an energy-efficient manner:
regular charging
•
preconditioning
•
drive mode Pure
•
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.
