530e had to be priced same as gasoline only 530i to move it out of dealer lots. Previous F10 ActiveHybrid 5 was a flop and priced same or higher than equivalent 535i at the time .

T8 against the BMW 530e and the Volvo lost. Despite allegedly having 400 HP, it felt slow and dodgy compared to the BMW and wallowed in the turns. Hence I purchased the BMW. So I don't consider the Volvo T8, at least in the XC60 format, as a performance phev. But, of course, I share your desire. |

The reading from the car but it's pretty accurate.
I do 50km on battery on a daily basis (the actual distance to my work is at almost 25km one way)

I am cross-shopping this with the Tesla Model 3. Right now I am leaning to the Tesla 3 as a better value proposition.

there can be a case made if you go for a M340i or S4 or C43 vs the awd long range model 3, but i wouldn't touch any hybrids with a ten feet pole, there's just no more advantage to having them over a BEV. pretty soon it'll be meaningless for any manufacture to even continue making hybrid models. |

One of the reasons why I went with a 530e over Model S was that I didn't have to worry about driving somewhere far if I had to. So, at least to me, it seems like a clear advantage for a PHEV.

I'm a bit envious of all the options the US gets as standard. I attempted to recreate the "standard" equipment in the EU configurator and ended up with a MSRP starting at USD 52,000 (before VAT). What you have across the pond is a really good deal.

If you can squeeze your commuting distance to plugin hybrid's electric range and you don't mind daily charging then you wont get much back from going fully electric like with model 3 (on economics & practicality, performance that is other story ofc). If you live in country where supercharging network is not yet fully build your model 3 might even become nuisance in long distance travel. Model 3 is awesome car, but I wouldn't say hybrids are dead, not yet. It would be especially interesting to see when commercial solid state batteries with double energy density will hit the market, basically doubling range of existing hybrids and fully electric cars, or slashing price of battery by half with same range (assuming they hit same price eventually).
