Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric

The Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric achieves a 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 7.2 seconds (placing it at №326 among 572 electric vehicles) and attains a maximum speed of 99 mph.

Its powertrain provides a power output of up to 172 kW (231 hp) and a torque of 243 lb-ft.

Real-world range of Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric

Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric achieves a real-world range of 204–250 miles, placing it at №305 among 572 electric vehicles. 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.

Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric charge port type?

The Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric in the USA is equipped with a CCS Type 1 charging port. You can charge it conveniently at home using a standard outlet, or utilize any public AC charging station with the appropriate cable. However, the car's built-in charger (inverter) limits the maximum AC charging speed to 11 kW, which translates to roughly 34 miles of range added per hour.

For faster charging, use DC fast-charging stations. The Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric supports a maximum DC charging rate of 136 kW, but it's important to note that battery temperature and current charge level can affect the actual charging speed you'll experience.
