Interested in people experiences.
For me, I just hit one year of ownership of my 2021 PS2 launch edition LR AWD.
I have taken advantage of PetroCanada’s free EV fast charging when possible.
I have a level 2 charger at home and on the road have charged on either Petro-Can EV or Chargepoint, so I have an exact cost of all the electricity I have paid for.
So, in one year:
Electricity cost: $251
Kms driven 20,500 km
cost per km = $0.01
Note: free unlimited charging at Petro-Can ends at end of April 2022, so I will be back charging at home, which costs me $0.03 / km (i.e. my home charging total for the 2021 was $251 which took me an estimated 9400 Kms)
REPAIR COSTS: $0
Normal winter stuff: Change summer to winter tires: $182
Incl swap, mount and balance (at Volvo) winter tires to the 19” alloys (opted not to get a second set of rims as my protection package includes unlimited rim repairs).
Total cost of ownership in first year (excluding purchase cost), was $251 for electricity and $435 total.
I‘m quite pleased with that.

- One visit: both tail lights were fogged, and condensation didn’t leave, so they replaced both tail light housings at no charge. 2021 PS2 LRDM loaner .
- one other visit as TCAM out and that is when P2.0 was installed at the shop. No charge. 2022 PS2 loaner (LRSM)
