Adjusting to the range is likely to be simply a matter of time for most drivers, ‘range anxiety’ is mainly a state of mind rather than a legitimate fear and the advantages of switching to electric, I expect, will quickly outweigh the cons for early adopters.
Acceleration is perfect and even die-hard Jeremy Clarksons out there will have to admit that electric performance is smoother to even the best petrol and diesel can offer. OK so you lose that thrilling roar, and in some ways an EV does itself an injustice by making its sprint to 62mph seem so effortless. But then again being able to hear the world around you above the din of an engine is amazing. No longer will your Dido CDs have to compete with diesel droning.
And although I have always been quietly concerned about-er the quiet running of an electric car-I have to admit that stood outside the car, the wind and tyre noise above a certain speed seems adequate to alert even the doziest of pedestrians.
Some extra weigh and a small compromise in boot space is all it required to adjust the C30 to an electric drive, at least from the driver’s point of view. Of course that masks the true story behind Volvo’s efforts in electrification. As you would expect of the Swedish brand, the focus on maintaining safety has been paramount and it was something Volvo was keen to communicate to us.
Unique EV safety solutions
Positioning the batteries centrally, in the base of the car, to keep them out of the ‘crash zones’, Volvo found it needed to reinforce the front of the car to compensate for the loss of the combustion engine which would usually help distribute some of the crash impact. The added weight of the car caused by those batteries (which weigh 300kg) also means that there is more force in an impact, so a frontal structural plate is added to offset that.
