The Volvo Electric Adventure
The Volvo EX40 Takes on the Lake District
Next month, Volvo Cars Poole are setting off on an unforgettable electric adventure!
A road trip designed to truly put the power, performance, and usability of the Volvo EX40 to the test.
Our destination? The stunning Lake District. A region known for its dramatic landscapes, winding roads, and remote beauty. It’s the
perfect backdrop to explore what the Volvo EX40 can really do on a longer journey, both in terms of electric range and real-world practicality.
The trip will cover over 660 miles, including a scenic drive from Poole to Cumbria, daily excursions through the hills and valleys of the Lake District, and a return
journey – all powered by pure electricity. The aim? To showcase the comfort, capability, and ease of charging that comes with driving a fully electric Volvo in the UK.
Throughout the week, we will document the experience. From charging stops and mileage updates to scenic views and behind-the-wheel insights. Each day will highlight
a different aspect of the Volvo EX40, whether it’s boot space, on-road comfort, performance on twisty terrain, or how simple it is to find and use public charging stations.
Expect daily social media updates, scenic photography and a post-trip wrap-up report on how the Volvo EX40 performed across varied landscapes and conditions.
This isn’t just a road trip. It’s a real-world demonstration of what modern electric driving looks with the Volvo EX40.
Stay tuned as Volvo Cars Poole prepares to take you along for the ride.
