New Volvo Electric & Hybrid Vehicles for Sale in Austin, TX

Volvo's goal is to be climate neutral by 2040, and they've made great strides toward that objective with their lineup of electric and hybrid vehicles. If you desire an eco-friendlier car, wagon, or SUV that's sustainable and luxurious, shop the wide selection of hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electric vehicles (EVs) at Volvo Cars Hill Country. Not only are these vehicles easier on the environment, but they also offer peppy acceleration and front-line technology features.

Differences Between Hybrid, Plug-In Hybrid, and Fully Electric Vehicles

If your main goal is better fuel economy, a Volvo hybrid or plug-in hybrid (PHEV) may be just the ticket. These vehicles pair a gas engine with one or more electric motors for better gas mileage and fewer emissions. While a regular hybrid boosts fuel economy, a PHEV will operate on electric power only for a few miles. When the battery runs out of juice, the gas engine takes over for a longer combined range. The electric motor (or motors) may also enable quicker acceleration. Hybrids have regenerative braking to keep them charged up, while PHEVs must be plugged in to add charge.

If you'd prefer a vehicle that releases zero emissions and allows you to break free from gasoline completely, get a fully electric Volvo model. These vehicles are quiet, quick, and environmentally friendly. You can recharge them at home or at public charging stations. Since they don't need oil changes or radiator service, they require less maintenance. You may even receive income tax credits when purchasing an EV.

Volvo Mild Hybrids and PHEVs

The new Volvo XC40 is a mild hybrid subcompact SUV. Its turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine pairs with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system to produce a combined 247 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. If you'd like more electrification, try a plug-in hybrid, such as the new Volvo XC60 Plug-In Hybrid. This compact crossover uses a turbocharged and supercharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, an electric motor, and an 18.8-kWh lithium-ion battery to generate a combined 455 horsepower and 523 pound-feet of torque.

Frequently Asked Questions About Electric Vehicles

Volvo electric vehicles draw their power not from a gasoline engine under the hood, but rather an electric motor bolted to the drive shaft. Volvo hybrid vehicles combine a gasoline engine and an electric motor, maximizing fuel efficiency. Plug-in Volvo vehicles offer the best of both worlds. Georgetown drivers can utilize the electric motor for short trips around town, while the gasoline engine is best suited for longer travel purposes.

If you desire to be environmentally friendly as well as save on fuel costs, then an electric vehicle is the right choice for you. Because of the kinetic energy generated from the electric motors, you experience immense performance from a standstill. Further, since there are few moving parts on an electric, you enjoy a much quieter ride while on the road near Austin. Plus, since there are fewer moving parts, that means fewer maintenance items to repair.

Thus, with the purchase of an electric vehicle, you look forward to a greener future, lower maintenance costs, and fewer trips to the pump.

Absolutely, you can. We offer a range of chargers, including a Volvo wallbox, so you can seamlessly charge your vehicle while at home. The Volvo wallbox can be installed by a professional installer.

The charging time for a Volvo vehicle depends on the model as well as the charging station. For instance, the Volvo EX90 can charge up from 10 to 80 percent in 30 minutes using a DC fast charging station near Lakeway. Using a three-stage charger, the battery charges to 100 percent from zero in around 10 hours.

For the Volvo EX40, the charging time from 10 to 80 percent comes in at 28 minutes. Using a three-stage charger, the 82.0-kilowatt-hour battery is fully recharged in eight hours. With the new Volvo EX30, the charging time from 10 percent to 80 percent is 28 minutes using a fast-charging DC outlet. Furthermore, the battery takes eight hours to recharge fully using a three-stage charger.

On average, the main battery in your Volvo electric vehicle may last over 15 years, or over 186,400 miles. This figure may vary depending on driving conditions, charging habits, and the vehicle's location. To maximize battery life, we recommend preconditioning your vehicle in warm or cool weather before driving or charging. We also recommend careful driving and receiving regular software updates to keep the battery management system optimized.
