Overview

The Volvo C40 Recharge (EC40) Twin Motor (2022-...) is an all-electric all-wheel drive SUV. It came out in 2022. Brand new, the car starts around €61,290.

The Volvo C40 Recharge (EC40) Twin Motor (2022-...) has a 82 kWh battery pack, allowing it to travel up to 447 km on a single charge. The car has an average efficiency of 17.7 kWh per 100 km (or 5.66 km per kWh) — ranked №257 out of 824 electric vehicles.

Volvo officially changed the name of the C40 Recharge to the EC40 in 2024 as part of their strategy to streamline their electric vehicle naming conventions.

How powerful is it? How fast does it accelerate?

The Volvo C40 Recharge (EC40) Twin Motor (2022-...) achieves a 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 4.7 seconds (placing it at №28 out of 118 ranked positions, among 824 electric vehicles, with some cars sharing positions) and attains a maximum speed of 180 km/h.

Its powertrain provides a power output of up to 300 kW (402 hp) and a torque of 670 Nm.

How far can it go on single charge? What is the real-world range?

Volvo C40 Recharge (EC40) Twin Motor (2022-...) achieves a real-world range of 447 km, placing it at №119 among 334 ranked positions. However, this range is subject to several influences:

Speed: Traveling at higher speeds reduces battery life.
Temperature: Extreme cold or hot weather can affect range.
Terrain: Hilly or mountainous landscapes decrease range.
Driving habits: Aggressive driving with frequent acceleration and braking consumes more energy.
Feature usage: Climate control and media systems also influence range.

It's important to acknowledge that these are estimations, and your actual driving range may differ. Consider these factors when planning your trip and be ready for potential charging stops.

Utilize the interactive EV Navigation map for trip planning assistance.

What charging options are available? How long does it take to charge it?

The Volvo C40 Recharge (EC40) Twin Motor (2022-...) in Europe comes with a CCS Type 2 charging port. It can be charged at home using a standard domestic socket or at any public AC charging station with the compatible cable. It's important to note that the car's on-board charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging rate to 11 kW, resulting in approximately 56 km of range added per hour of charging.

For significantly faster charging, public DC fast-charging stations are available. Although the car can achieve a maximum DC charging rate of 200 kW, factors such as battery temperature and charge level may affect the actual charging speed.

Use our EV Charging Calculator to estimate charging time, rate, and cost.

In Europe, this car configuration is limited to a maximum DC fast charging rate of 175 kW.
