A car retailer is inviting drivers to find out more about its new electric car range which it says has an increased driving range and improved efficiency.
Waylands Reading, on Imperial Way, is stocking the new Volvo C40 and XC40 Recharge pure electric models.
The company says with staycations gaining in popularity, having a car that can go the distance is a top priority for drivers – and the C40 and XC40 can travel between 342 and 334 miles respectively, matching many petrol-fuelled cars.
Waylands says the cars’ energy efficiency has also improved, with the most efficient C40 and XC40 versions now capable of up to 3.7 miles per kWh, thanks to an electric motor developed specifically for the new models.
In the single-motor cars, this new motor offers drivers 238hp, up from the outgoing models’ 231hp. Further enhancements include improved battery cooling efficiency.
And charging times have also improved, taking just 28 minutes to go from 10% to 80% capacity.
Daryl Best, general manager at Waylands Reading, said: “The new models offer the best balance of performance and efficiency possible without compromising on quality or safety. The increased distance capabilities and faster charging times will give our customers much more freedom and flexibility when using their cars, allowing more drive-time and less waiting.
“We’d like to invite Reading drivers to pop along to Waylands Reading to speak to our team of experts, who are always on hand to answer any questions drivers might have when it comes to buying a car and switching to electric.”
