Volvo: Plug-in hybrids with up to 200 km electric range XC60 and XC90 as plug-in hybrids will receive a significantly larger battery, enabling up to 200 km of electric range. However, Volvo is missing an opportunity. https://www.heise.de/en/news/Volvo-Plug-in-hybrids-with-up-to-200-km-electric-range-11454008.html?wt_mc=sm.red.ho.mastodon.mastodon.md_beitraege.md_beitraege&utm_source=mastodon #Elektroauto #Elektromobilität #Hybridantrieb #Mobiles #Nachhaltigkeit #PluginHybrid #Volvo #news

Today's installment of "let's see how much the world can be inshittified": I got in the car to go to the cattery to pick up Luther after our week away. And when I put the indicators on ... no sound. Lights flashed both internally and externally, but no little "tick tick" rhythm to accompany them. Anyway after I got home I looked at the Volvo website, where this is an apparently known problem. To be slightly fair, following their process and rebooting the car (twice!) fixed things. But how on earth can they ship car software where you randomly need to reboot to keep things working. Especially as having an audio warning for the turn signal is (I believe) a legal requirement in the UK. #volvo #enshittification

Buying a Geely car sounds like the best deal in 2026. Their engines are being used in Volvo, Lotus, Polestar, Mercedes-Benz, and many others. Why not? #Geely #Car #Cars #Auto #Automobile #Driving #Lotus #Volvo #Polestar #Mercedes #MercedesBenz #CLA #EV #luxury #luxurycars

🇦🇺 #Volvo #Buses has unveiled Australia’s first electric articulated bus, the 18-metre Volvo BZL Electric Articulated, to meet growing demand for high-capacity, zero-emission urban transport. The low-floor, fully electric chassis is fitted with a locally built Volgren body, with the first vehicle produced in Perth for the Public #Transport Authority of Western #Australia (PTA). More than 140 rigid Volvo BZL Electric buses have been operating across Australia since 2022, providing an established support network. Volvo says the new model was developed for #Australian conditions and the PTA, with which it has worked for more than a decade. The PTA has taken delivery of more than 1,400 Volvo buses. The 57-seat bus features dual 200kW motors, 12 LFP batteries with 497kWh of installed energy, and CCS2 charging.

FYI: då jag igår låg 4h i bagaget på en Volvo s40 för att försöka fixa låsproblemet avbokade jag imorse den tvättidd jag bokat till idag. För att vara hemma och städa istället. Det finns säkert någon spelbörs i något obskyrt no-tax-haven som låter er satsa era surt förvärvade pengar på sannolikheten att jag i praktiken kommer att städa idag. Det sprids ett rykte att sannolikheten i liknande situationer är <10%. Lycka till!! #Sverige #Odds #Polymarket #kashi #volvo #TaxHaven

Geely, the Chinese company owning the #Volvo and #Polestar brands, has been hit by Trump`s admin in a weird way. Polestar cars are not allowed to be sold in the US, as part of a rule banning connected cars from automakers with Chinese links. Volvo Cars are fine, however. The factory they built in South Carolina, where the Polestar 3 model is produced, might have to fire their American workers and close down.

Anyone in the market for an (abandoned) Volvo? Ran perfectly when parked. Slight patina to the paintwork. Needs a minor service and a bit of a clean! No time wasters. Open to sensible offers! 💸😂 #Photography #AbandonedCar #ClassicCars #Volvo #WeirdCarMastodon #ClassicCar

Does your car have @Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net available? If you have a new car that runs Android Automotive, it is quite likely that it can run Vivaldi! It all started with the Polestar 2, but now Vivaldi runs on Polestar, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Renault, Audi, Ford, Lincoln and a lot more. To find Vivaldi, if it is not pre-installed, find the play store and search for Vivaldi. Enjoy! We worked hard on making Vivaldi work well in your car as well. Next time, when parked, try enjoying a live streaming sports match of your choice. It is pretty awesome! #Vivaldi #Android #Automotive #Polestar #Volvo #Mercedes #Audi #Renault #EU #Europa #technology #car

#Kent County Council has introduced Dover’s first fully electric #buses on the #Dover #Fastrack network, in partnership with #Stagecoach South East and Dover District Council, funded through the Department for Transport’s ZEBRA scheme. The fleet of five #Volvo BZL buses can travel up to 300km on a single charge and feature low-floor access, wheelchair spaces, digital screens and USB charging. Dover Fastrack, linking Whitfield with Dover town centre and Dover Priory station, has expanded its timetable since launching in November 2024. Councillors and operators highlight the investment as a step towards modern, sustainable public #transport and supporting local economic growth.
