An Ontario couple says they’ve been hit with unexpected costs after their new electric vehicle’s ability to sustain a charge is ‘nowhere near’ what was advertised.
“My wife took a job up in Barrie, Ont., and she has to commute 100 kilometers each way and we were paying over $1,000 in gas,” Jack Fleming, of Etobicoke, Ont., told CTV News Toronto Monday.
Fleming said before buying an all-electric Volvo C40 Recharge, he checked the vehicle’s range, which was advertised as 364 km on a full charge.
This is a very common introduction to EV’s for unfortunate buyers. Volvo replies with the standard set of excuses blaming a host of factors but never the technology for clients being shortchanged on advertised performance, the weather, driver habits, woodland elves etc.
