I own a P8 Recharge, and it is the best vehicle I have owned. So much fun and an absolute pleasure to drive. I despise having to climb back into my Subaru Forester with its turbo lag, noise, and exhaust smell in the garage entering the home. No more "fossil" vehicles purchases in my future. BEVs are next level. The Volvo is 6x lower cost in "fuel" as compared to the Subaru fuel usage too, but that is a mute point considering the premium we pay for BEVs in SA due to the greed of government and their excessive taxes on BEVs. The carbon taxes paid on ICE vehicles is supposed to be used to subsides BEVs, but instead they load them up with 28% import duties and up to 30% luxury car taxes and then throw in 15% VAT on the top. A 3rd of the final price is SA taxes. I am sure the SA Gov makes more money on each vehicle sold than the manufacturer does.

I 've owned a P8 Recharge twin since Feb. Extremely happy with the car. Averange consumption over 10 000km is 19.8kwh/100km. The power delivery is amazing, range is very good. Done some trips to the Drakensberg, Balito and the Kruger. Gridcars network is very good. Charging at an 80kw charger, 17% to 90% took around 40 - 45 minutes at Bergville and charging stopped before we finished our lunch at Wimpy. Vehicle charges at full 80kw up to 84%, so the charge speed's great. Just a pity that Volvo doen't supply connectivity and OTA updates in South africa, so you cannot use preconditioning etc from the app and need to take the car in for software updates.
