Three things that are better with the 2022 Volvo XC90 Recharge

The Volvo XC90 Recharge is one of the most appealing, and impressive luxury plug-in hybrid three-row sport utility vehicles on the market. Volvo announced back in April a round of significant improvements that make the XC90 Recharge even better, and allow it to stand out even more from its competition.

Now, the 2022 Volvo XC90 Recharge is more efficient, more powerful, more refined, and has a lot more all-electric range. That's where we need to start when looking at three things that are better on this 2022 Volvo XC90 PHEV.

A lot more all-electric range

The 2022 Volvo XC90 Recharge now features an 18.8-kWh battery. This battery is significantly larger than the previous 11.1-kWh battery that was found in the XC90 Recharge. This means a lot more range for the 2022 XC90 Recharge which now can go 58 km between charges. That's double the previous range of 29 km

So why is this important? While the previous 2022 Volvo XC90 Recharge offered good range, it wasn't enough to do your daily commute without using any fuel if you had an average drive to and from work. If you had to do over 30 km which is the case for many people, you still had to use fuel at some point in your journey.

Now that it offers 58 km of range, the 2022 Volvo XC90 Recharge delivers a lot more all-electric capability. Most owners will be able to get through their day without using any fuel. Imagine the cost savings at the end of the year.

A lot more horsepower

Not only does the Volvo XC90 Recharge offer a lot more range now, but it is also a lot more powerful. With an upgraded rear electric motor that now delivers 1 47 hp compared to 87 hp, the 2022 Volvo XC90 Recharge now delivers 455 hp. This is significantly more than the BMW X5 PHEV and the same amount as the Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid. The XC90 Recharge is the most powerful Volvo vehicle on sale and along with other Recharge models the most powerful SUV ever built by Volvo.

More Technology

The 2022 Volvo XC90 Recharge now offers more technology than ever before. It will eventually offer advanced technology such as one-pedal driving which allows you to control the accelerator and the brakes using only your right foot. This is quite significant and allows the XC90 Recharge to deliver even better comfort and a more engaging driving experience. Give us a call today to learn more about the 2022 Volvo XC90 Recharge.

Three reasons to consider the 2022 Mazda MX 30 as your next electric vehicle

The price of gas doesn't seem to want to stop going up and up and up and this has led many consumers to consider buying an electric vehicle as their next mode of transportation. There has never been a better time to look at EV's with more and more models offered on the market and there has never been more options for consumers looking to go fully electric. That said, the 2022 Mazda MX 30 should be at the top of your list if you are looking for and EV.

But wait! Doesn't the Mazda MX 30 have a lot less range than other electric vehicles? Why would you buy an electric vehicle it has half the range of its competitors? Will that's what we are going to look at here with three reasons to consider the MX 30 as your next electric vehicle.

The range number is just a number

The 2022 Mazda MX 30 has 161 km of range. Obviously this is less than what you find in other electric vehicles and obviously, it has been talked about often since the MX 30 was unveiled. But let us ask you a quick question. How many times do you drive over 150 km in a day? Do you even drive that far in a week? The average commute of Canadians is 8.7 km. Many will drive more than that, but more often than not the daily commute is less than 40 or 50 km

Therefore, if we look at range as he the number of kilometres you need to drive every day as opposed to the maximum number that you could theoretically drive, the 2022 Mazda MX 30 has more than enough range for your daily needs.

It charges a lot faster than other electric vehicles

When you think about it, why is range so important in an electric vehicle? We don't really think about the range that we can do in our gas powered vehicle do we? We don't care about the range of a gas vehicle because we know that we can fill up our gas tank very quickly if we need to and we can keep going. If you're gas vehicle only had 161 km of range, would it be a big deal? Well it is a big deal if your electric vehicle needs nine, 10, or even 12 hours to fully charge. After spending so much time you want to make sure that your EV has a lot of range.

The Mazda MX 30 has a much smaller battery and other electric vehicles with 7035.5 kWh. That's why it has less range but the benefit is that it is a lot faster to charge a 2022 Mazda MX 30. Using a home charger, you can charge your MX 30 in about three hours.

Using a level III charger, you will get 80% of range in about 36 minutes and that's on a 50 kW shower charger. Other electric vehicles can charge in under an hour on a levels Recharger as well, but they usually require 150 kW to charge that quickly if not they will charge in nearly 2 hours on a 50 kW charge.

So let's say an average electric vehicle can do 350 km on a full charge and requires 10 hours to charge.

Now the Mazda MX 30 can do 161 km, but it only requires a little over three hours to charge. Now let's say you want to do 450 km. In a traditional electric vehicle, you will need to drive 350 km and then wait 12 hours for a full charge in a Mazda MX 30, you will need to do a full charge twice on your way, but it will only take you about six hours total. In other words, doing 450 km in a Mazda MX 30 can take half the time as a traditional electric vehicle.

The 2022 Mazda MX 30 gives you the range you need in the quick charging times you want from an electric vehicle. Better yet, it also gives you exceptional value. A fully equipped model starts at just over $47,000 and you can get up to $12,000 in rebates from the Québec and Canada governments.
