electric 480?!
Currently failing to do any work so I thought I'dd do a little search of ''volvo 480'' and came across this page:
http://www.volvoracing.co.uk/cars/volvo-480
Halfway down, in the prototypes section it claims there was a 480 with an electric drivetrain Has anyone any knowledge of this? I've never seen anything on this site or elsewhere

Re: electric 480?!
Yes, back in the day volvo experimented with the electric engine:
According to volvo top speed is 118 km/h and range is 120 km. Battery charge time is around 45 minutes, and in the first 15 minutes of charging the batteries already hold 50% capacity due to innovative rapid-charge system.
(Credit of pictures and translation go to AOD and V480_be. Thanks guys.)

Re: electric 480?!
Those figures you quote would still be pretty good by today's standards, particularly the charge time
