Why go Electric?



Why go Electric? 

Switching from the conventional gas powered vehicle to an all electric vehicle can be intimidating for some people. A lot of questions start to arise such as "will an electric vehicle fit into my daily lifestyle?" and , "how and where will I charge my vehicle?". Luckily, Volvo offers an electric vehicle for everyone's lifestyle. Whether you enjoy hiking and adventure, or need more room for your growing family, Volvo is there for you. 

If you are still not comfortable making the switch to completely electric, Volvo offers a wide variety of mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles. The mild hybrid does not require any charging, and charges itself when you press on the brake. Plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) are a combination of gas and electric, allowing you to drive completely on electricity in pure-mode, or a mix of both! 

The popularity of electric vehicles is on the rise as we see the effects of ever rising gas prices and inflation throughout the US.  Not only will driving electric save you money, it will also help save the  environment. Now a days, everyone is making small changes to save an extra dollar. Just by making the switch from gas to electric, you too will be saving many extra dollars in the long run. 

"How and where do I charge my vehicle?". When it comes to charging your electric vehicle (EV) there are many different options available. Volvo Cars App and Google Built in make charging easy on the road, and can identify charging stations near you so you never have to worry! Whether your on the road and need a local charging station, which offer level 2 and 3 chargers, or at home, charging is available. At home chargers come in different levels, level one and level two. Each level offers a different variant of power, and will affect how long it will take to charge your vehicle. For example; The standard Level 1 120V AC household outlet offers a  Full Charge in *~6 to ~8 hours (PHEV), and  ~50 to ~72 hours (BEV), while Level 2 240V AC household outlet Charging Time to Full Charge *~3 to ~4 hours (PHEV) ~8 to ~10 hours (BEV).

Here is your Volvo Safety...

Image
What you see above is the result of an accident between a tractor trailer, a Volvo XC60...and another tractor trailer. If you think the end result is devastating, just be aware...the driver and passenger of the Volvo XC60 walked away from this accident with only minor injuries. This accident happened in Brussels a couple of days ago, here is some of the report from their newspaper: A car containing a mother and daughter crashed into the back of a truck. The vehicle disappeared completely under the rear end of the heavy truck. To make matters worse, a heavy truck crashed into the Volvo XC60 from behind. The result was a lot of scrap. The emergency services had to rescue the two women from the car, who were trapped for more than one hour. The fire brigade had to cut off the roof of the vehicle before being able to set them free. The two ladies must have had a guardian angel as they got off with only minor injuries. They were taken to the hospital for a routine check up So wh

It's a question we get every now and then. "How do I get one of those red plates?"...those red plates you see on various Volvos in Central Pennsylvania are actually Swedish Tourist plates. And the way to get them is to purchase your next new Volvo from Lehman Volvo through the Overseas Delivery program. In addition to being the BEST way to purchase your new Volvo, the Overseas Delivery program provides you with complimentary airfare for 2 to Sweden, a complimentary hotel stay and yes...that little red plate. Its another benefit to the program...Volvo provides you with complimentary European registration and Insuraunce for up to 14 days. And with that, your vehicle becomes a tourist vehicle. Once it reaches the US, Volvo makes sure that your red tag stays with the car, so you have a very cool and unique souvenier to remind you of the time you drove your Volvo in Sweden.
