I'd want a couple more studies to confirm this- sponsor bias is potentially high here, especially as Volvo is heavily relying on ICE based…

Yep- at the beginning they ask you your estimated KM/annum and calculate running costs based on that. If you then report the next year that…

The NVL or the EV? Cause honestly the EV is less work than the ICE and the NVL is a lot initially then set and forget
