Recharged. Not redesigned.

We designed the pure electric XC40 Recharge to give you the best experience on the road now, and to protect your future.

Your way

A true urban SUV. Seamlessly connected. Fit for the way you live. It’s an XC40, recharged to be your most personal driving experience.

Google
connectivity

We believe a car should be as intuitive to use as your smartphone. That’s why the pure electric XC40 Recharge pioneers embedded Google services*. You get the familiar, well-proven Google Maps navigation functions and the supremely helpful Google Assistant voice-control. Plus useful in-car apps from Google Play store – all seamlessly integrated in your car. This technology also learns how you behave and can make suggestions to smooth out the day. From now on, your car is fully connected to your digital life – even without your phone.

Smart storage

Wherever you look in the cabin, there are smart storage solutions. Like a waste bin, numerous card holders, wireless phone charging, a foldable bag hook and a lot more. At the rear, there’s plenty of room for luggage and gear. And when you open the hood, you find a front compartment instead of a bulky combustion engine. It’s the perfect space to keep your charging cables easily accessible and well protected.

Driver Assist

If you want, the pure electric XC40 Recharge can support you when driving. Driver Assist, for example, keeps a set speed and distance to vehicles in front while controlling the steering to keep you centred in your lane. This is driving made more convenient, more enjoyable and more relaxed. Please note: Keep your hands on the steering wheel and remain alert while using the Driver Assist feature.

Feel good

The pure electric XC40 Recharge is a carbon emission-free yet powerful driving experience. Made for you, and the world we share.

Zero tailpipe emissions when driving

Driving on pure electricity means driving without emitting any tailpipe emissions at all. No carbon dioxide. No particles. No nitrogen oxide. Nothing but the pure joy of freedom – without the environment having to pay the price.

Recycled materials

The pure electric XC40 Recharge is designed to reduce environmental impact, including the use of sustainable material. For example, the interior carpeting is entirely made of recycled plastic. Our vision is that 25% of all plastics in our cars will be made from recycled materials by 2025. At the end of the car’s lifecycle, the battery and 95% of the complete car can be recycled – ensuring that limited resources can be reused again.

Car Sharing

This feature* makes it easy to share your car with others for a certain period of time. Wherever you are, you can give friends, family members and colleagues instant access to your pure electric XC40 Recharge via the Volvo On Call app*. They open the car with their mobile phone and then drive away. Smart, easy and secure – and a big leap towards a more sustainable lifestyle.

What do you want to know about pure electric cars?

• How long can I drive before I need to recharge the battery?

  The battery of the upcoming pure electric XC40 Recharge has a nominal capacity of 78 kWh. A fully charged battery gives you a projected range of over 320 km/200 miles* at mixed driving before you need to recharge. But your real-world range is also affected by your driving style and other circumstances such as outdoor temperature, weather, wind, topography and roads. Other factors that impact range are how much electricity you use for car functions such as heating and cooling of the car. One way to improve range, is to pre-condition your car during charging so it’s already comfortable climatized when you go. You can also add a heat pump that saves valuable energy. But on a daily basis, you will probably fill up the battery whenever the car is parked where charging is possible – be it at home, at work or in the city. So range should not be an issue for everyday driving provided that you have good access to charging.

  * Range according to the realistic WLTP and EPA driving cycles under controlled conditions for a new car. Real-world range may vary. Figures are based on preliminary target. Final vehicle certification pending.

• What charging times can I expect when recharging at home?

  The charging time for the upcoming pure electric XC40 Recharged depends on the charging equipment you use and the electric installation at home. The standard charging cable with a household connector is primarily an auxiliary cable and not recommended for regular charging. Charging an empty battery to 80% with this cable takes approximately 30–55 hours depending on market. Or, which is perhaps more relevant: around 7.5–14 km range per hour. For regular and considerably shorter charging times at home, we recommend you complement with a cable capable of up to 3.5 kW or 11 kW charging. These cables give charging times of approximately 18.5–5.5 hours (around 20–60 km range per hour) respectively. But for the most efficient and integrated home charging solution, we recommend the Volvo Cars Wallbox. This powerful 11 kW, 32A installation will give you approximately 5.5 hours charging time (from empty to 80%) or 60 km range per hour. When charging at stations outside your home, the most probable situations are that you will top the battery during shorter periods of time, for example from 40% to 80% (11 kW AC gives around 55–60 km range per hour). And on longer trips, you may charge the car using fast-charging DC stations. At a 150 kW DC charging station you can charge the battery from 10 to around 80% in approximately 40 minutes (or around 100 km range in 10 minutes). Just enough time to take a rest and have a meal.

  Please note: Charging times will vary and are dependent on factors such as outdoor temperature, current battery temperature, charging equipment, battery condition and car condition.

• How much does it cost to charge an electric car?

  The cost for electricity varies depending on local conditions, but the cost can be lower compared to petrol or diesel. The lowered fuel cost is also one of several reasons to switch to an electric car. And for even lower costs, you can pre-set the upcoming XC40 Recharge to charge at the times when the tariffs are the lowest, often at night.

• Can I use a pure electric car for long-distance driving?

  Our upcoming pure electric XC40 Recharge is perfectly suited for comfortable long-distance driving. And the battery’s high capacity with a projected range of over 400 km/200 miles* ensures you can do so without worrying about range. If you need to charge during the journey, you can do so at an AC charging station or DC fast-charging station. DC fast charging up to 150 kW makes it possible to charge the battery from 10 to 80% in approximately 40 minutes (or 100 km range in 10 minutes) – just enough time to rest or have a meal during the trip.

  * Range according to the realistic WLTP and EPA driving cycles under controlled conditions for a new vehicle. Real-world range may vary. Figures are based on preliminary target. Final vehicle certification pending.

• How safe is an electric car?

  All battery electric cars undergo the same tests as petrol or diesel cars. In Europe, Euro NCAP has long been the benchmark for car safety. Test have also become even tougher with new demands on, among other things, auto brakes. At Volvo, all cars in the entire model range have received the highest marks in their respective tests. And with the advanced safety technology of the upcoming XC40 Recharge, we introduce one of the world’s safest electric cars.
