Volvo Partners with British Gas for V60 Plug-In Hybrid Home Charging

V60-Plug-In-Hybrid
As deliveries of the world’s first plug-in diesel hybrid, the Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid, start in the UK, Volvo announced a new partnership with British Gas to help ensure customers’ properties are ready to charge their new vehicle.

Until March 2015, customers who buy the V60 Plug-In Hybrid will be eligible for a free car charging package from British Gas, which includes a charge point and free access to the Polar Charging network across the UK.

The V60 Plug-In Hybrid allows the driver to choose the driving mode via three buttons in the dashboard that gives the car three entirely different temperaments: Pure, Hybrid or Power. In the default hybrid mode, the carbon dioxide emissions are just 48g/km. At the touch of a button, the driver can also choose to cover up to 31 miles on pure electric power − or use the combined capacity of the diesel engine and electric motor to create a veritable driving machine with 215+70 horsepower and 440+200 Nm of torque.

Such is the demand, production has already been doubled next year from the initial plan of 150, to 300 units for the UK. Global production is expected to reach 10,000 units in 2014.

As part of the partnership with British Gas, UK customers will benefit from a free home charging package which includes:

– Installation of a home charge point − a 16 Amp data enabled Wall Box with 4.5m cable to help keep track of energy use

– Access to the POLAR network until the end of March 2014. Giving access to more than 1,800 public charging points across the country

– A home-suitability survey by a fully-trained British Gas electrician, survey and installation on the same day

– Access to Chargevision online account management and smart phone app to help keep track energy use

– Three-year charge point warranty and three-year parts and labour warranty[wzslider height=”400″ lightbox=”true”]
