The Bay Area has been a leader in the transition to eco-friendly vehicles and away from ICE (internal combustion engine) cars. While this movement has only continued to gain momentum, there are still a lot of options to consider.
At Volvo Cars Dublin, our customers all have different driving needs and preferences. Some would like to go all-electric immediately while others find peace-of-mind with the more traditional hybrid vehicles.
Volvo Cars Dublin offers great choices in three different categories – EVs (electric vehicles), Plug-in Hybrids, and Mild Hybrids (no plug required). To help you choose the Volvo car or SUV that’s best for you, here’s a quick overview of all three.
Volvo’s Electric Vehicles uphold the high standards people expect from Volvo. Powered by a high-voltage battery and dual electric motors Volvo EVs feature excellent range, impressive power, less noise, and of course, zero tailpipe emissions. The Volvo lineup of Electric Vehicles comes with a wide array of high-tech amenities, including the Google suite of apps, built in. And the highly anticipated 2024 Volvo EX90 and EX30 will raise the bar on technology, safety, and sustainability. In addition, Volvo puts an emphasis on greater use of bio-based and recycled materials while minimizing waste all to reduce the carbon footprint. Volvo’s goal is to be a climate-neutral company by 2040.
Want the best of both worlds? Volvo has an impressive selection of plug-in hybrid models. Volvo calls them “electric cars with a backup plan”. Whether you’re planning a long road trip or are traveling to an area with fewer fast chargers, a Volvo plug-in hybrid provides peace of mind. From the XC90 Recharge SUV to the S60 Recharge sedan, you’ll experience great driving range, fuel mileage, and power without sacrificing luxury and safety. All Volvo plug-in hybrids come with a long list of tech, luxury, and safety accessories standard. These range from the security of driver assistance technology to the convenience of Google connectivity.
If you want an eco-friendly driving experience without the plug, see the incredible selection of mild hybrid vehicles at Volvo Cars Dublin. Powered by both a combustion engine and an electric motor, the MHEV (Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle) motor is used to start the engine and brake or slow the car, recovering energy that is then stored in the battery, and is used to help boost the engine when accelerating. The result? A great compromise between reduced fuel consumption and longer driving range. Some of the most popular Volvo models are mild hybrid vehicles including the XC90, XC60, and XC40 SUVs as well as the S90 sedan.
