One of the most important considerations when choosing a Volvo plug-in hybrid vehicle is how much range it has on electric power only. Environmentalists in Exeter, NH want to be able to go as far as possible without using any gas or releasing any emissions. Volvo is giving the XC90 and XC60 Recharge models improved batteries with a longer range, and you can find these SUVs for sale at Volvo Cars of Exeter.

Longer Range for Less Reliance on Gasoline

Previously, the Volvo XC90 and XC60 Recharge models could go 18 miles on battery power alone. Portsmouth drivers will like that the updated battery will enable these SUVs to go more than 90 kilometers (55 miles) on a single charge. Since the average premium SUV owner travels less than 31 miles each weekday, most people in Dover, NH will be able to do their entire commute on electric power only.

Quicker Acceleration and Improved Handling

Volvo developed a new long-range battery that features a third layer of cells to increase nominal energy from 11.6kWh to 18.8kWh. They also gave the XC90 and XC90 Recharge models a more powerful rear electric motor that delivers 107kW of power. With this additional oomph, York, ME drivers will enjoy quicker acceleration and enhanced drivability.

Better All-Wheel Drive Capability

Not only will the XC90 and XC90 Recharge have more get-up-and-go, but they will produce fewer CO2 emissions for eco-friendlier travels. Together with the boosted battery, the upgraded e-motor also enables better all-wheel-drive capability for improved traction on slick roads in Exeter.
