  1. I bought a Volvo phev xc90. It's a very nice car air suspension. For the money you get allot of car and luxury features not to mention Volvo safety. I drive 95% miles in EV mode. But knowing there is a backup option in case of emergency i don't have to wait for charging it gives me a peace of mind being a care taker of elderly parents and a young child.

  2. I agree. Volvo is much better than most of German car manufacturers when it comes to electrification.

  3.  @gregp.7148  Like I said, it's not about routine use, it's unexpected emergencies. No matter the range of your EV, you can still run into situtions where you have to go somewhere just when the battery is almost empty. Imaging you come home from a long trip, and about to plug in, you get an emergency phone call your relative is in hospital 1 hour away? Or you are on your halfway on your trip somewhere, you get an urgent call either for business or medical emergency you have to turn around. EVs still have a long way to go to cover these unexpected unplanned cases. You'd have to have abundant fast charging infrastructure with much faster charging time to cover the use cases I mentioned above.

  4.  @davidnorton5887  true.. most of economy class cars such as RAV4 and Mazda 3s have gotten allot better. But you'd be surprised luxury class cars like BMW x5 still fail to achieve 5 star crash test even though it's more expensive than Volvo XC90. Audi only recently received 5 stars, for many years it had worse crash test scores than Mazda.
