There's plenty to talk about with the new Volvo XC60 Recharge T8, a plug-in hybrid. It has more horsepower for 2022, greater electric range and the promise of additional money back from the government.
But the most noticeable feature in the luxury compact crossover is, simply, its unusual drive mode.
Volvo calls it "one-pedal drive" and its a new hybrid feature from the Swedish carmaker. Those familiar with electric vehicles know all about it: Press the accelerator to go, as usual, and lift off the pedal to engage its regenerative braking. Often called "regen," it slows down the vehicle while recapturing energy and sending it back to the battery pack.
