The Volvo BZL's for Stagecoach's Dover FastTrack entered revenue service on Feb 24th, and I captured 66121 BU75WSJ and 66122 BU75WSK around Dover.

Unlike the Irizars used on the Dartford fastrack (which only have 90kWh batteries) the Volvos have (I think) 376kWh packs so probaly won't need to use the charging pantograph that much.  In theory they should have a range of about 180 miles which should be more than enough for a day's work.  Did you happen to see any take a top up whilst you were at Dover Priory?

No I did not see any use of the Charger but I was only there for about 5 minutes, however I can confirm that all of the BZL's have been in service, and MMC 37497 YX19OSE is still in use at Dover too having worked Route 88 this afternoon.

Press information says that the Volvos have a range of 300km/185 miles.
