2023 volvo xc90 recharge t8 ultimate bright

As we approach a new future of automotive electrification, manufactures continue to have a bridge over an electric vehicle (EV) world in innovative plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV). Volvo has been in the PHEV game for some time now, and the latest XC90 midsized three-row seating crossover continues with some minor updates from trim level revamping, additional power, and a slightly increased all-electric range.

Having experienced the 2021 Volvo XC90 Recharge just a couple of years ago it is refreshing to get another go at such a vehicle and see what the manufacturer has done to keep it fresh. With that, Volvo impresses me again with a decently performing vehicle for its versatility in being a plug-in hybrid along with the premium accommodations in a unique approach with the choice of its wool blend seat material found on my test vehicle.

In the world of trucks, there’s quite a battle in the area of rugged pickups that attempt to balance a delicate act of offering luxurious interior appointments and off-road capabilities.

Electreon CEO: wireless charging to dominate in five years

One of the biggest headwinds for electric vehicle (EV) uptake has been the charging experience. EV models on the market today require a plug-in charger for use either at home or a public station. The idea of going wireless with induction charging has been floated for years, promising benefits such as a reduction in battery size and cost, extended driving range, reduced pressure on the grid, and the ability to charge multiple EVs simultaneously. While a number of big-name companies are working on the technology and running pilots, traction has been slow. That’s starting to change.

Inevitably, EV charging will become less
