XC60 Request to Moderators: Please change your subsection titles

Request to Moderators: Please change your subsection titles
I have to toggle between the XC60 subsection and this "Volvo Recharge Models" subsection to see nearly equal amounts of XC60 T8 threads. I'm sure that many others agree with me that "Recharge" is a really silly word to apply to car model names, but it's especially so when "Recharge" applies to Volvo BEVs as well as Volvo PHEVs. Volvo makes an XC40 "Recharge" in Europe that is a PHEV, but does not make that available in the US. In the US, "XC40 Recharge" means "BEV only". So it's all a mess.
The moderators of this forum should delete this heading ("Volvo Recharge Models") and make two headings for two VERY different kinds of vehicles: "Volvo BEVs" and "Volvo PHEVs" ... and then move all of the relevant threads in this current subsection into one or the other. As for "XC60" subsection, I would recommend creating a new subsection as "XC60 Model Years 2022+" because the new Volvos with Google OS are so very different from the earlier versions, in so many ways. And the new Extended Range XC60 is night-and-day different from the XC60 non-ER PHEVs -- as anybody who has driven both well knows (they are like two different vehicles from two different automakers -- they are THAT different ... only some of the "looks" appear the same, but the drivetrains, guts, and computer systems are entirely different). I realize that the early 2022 T8s in the US have Google OS, also, but they have the old crappy drivetrain that the ER models drastically improve upon -- so I'm not sure how to deal with those "ugly ducklings" (and my condolences to anybody who bought a pre-ER 2022 XC60 T8).
