2021 Grey VOLVO XC40 PLUS RECHARGE TWIN EV AWD P8 FIRST EDITION Electricity 1 speed automatic
The pure electric XC40 Recharge Twin has a 78kWh lithium-ion battery and two 204hp electric motors giving a combined total of 408hp and all-wheel drive. The Volvo XC40 Recharge Twin AWD has an official combined electric driving range of 257 miles (WLTP). This is less than the 300 miles range that many car buyers say they want from an EV, and is less than some rivals. So what about the real-world range? As explained above, the XC40 Recharge Twin doesn’t display a driving range on the dashboard. However if you ask the Google Assistant, you’re generally told that the car has 180 miles remaining when fully charged. You can recharge the XC40 Recharge Twin in as little as eight hours using the on-board 11kW (AC) charger. If you use a 150kW (DC) fast charger, the car can be recharged to 80% capacity in just 40 minutes. Externally, it looks like any other XC40, apart from the blanked off grille; design is a subjective thing, but we’re personally not wild about the resulting visual appearance. Many manufacturers appear to have a challenge with what to do with the grille when converting a petrol car to an electric car.
