vs
Battery OEM Honda or OEM Volvo
I still get my batteries from the dealership because they last the longest and cost the least, for some reason.
Pros: last longest, cost least
I\u2019ve owned an S60 T8 for 2 and a half years now. Like others have said Volvo PHEVs deplete the battery first by default before touching the gas engine.
Pros: deplete battery first
Vehicle:
Volvo S60
I have been driving a 2023 S60 Recharge for 2 years now. If someone told you it's bad to drive them with the battery depleted, they lied to you.
Pros: rear wheels always powered
Vehicle:
Volvo S60
Depending on the year/model of the car you might need to have the battery "registered" using a special tool after installing it.
Vehicle:
Volvo
Just do it yourself or find an independent shop.
Vehicle:
Volvo V40
I drive a 2019 CRV and was thinking about a new battery, doing research man it seems like today's batteries don't last, I figured i got 6 yrs with a Honda so I stuck with their brand
Pros: 6 years with Honda
Cons: batteries don't last
Vehicle:
Honda
Currently, a bit over 3 grand (labour included), at least for the Civic/Accord Hybrids.
Pros: labor included
Cons: over 3 grand
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Paid charging is problematic mainly because the T8 charges so slow. You'd have to leave your car at a charger for like 5.5 hours to fill the battery.
Cons: slow charging speed
Vehicle:
Volvo
3 yrs on a Honda battery had me smh honestly.
Cons: short lifespan
Vehicle:
Honda Odyssey
I had an Volvo XC90 hybrid. The car is ok, but the battery/motor part is garbage. It has a 10kwh battery, but can only drive for 18 miles on battery, the energy efficiency is way low than my model X.
Cons: battery is garbage
Vehicle:
Volvo XC90
