All about the Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric
No longer available
This electric vehicle is no longer in production and not available to buy new. The Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric was available from February 2021 until February 2022. Financial data like price, leasing and company car tax were applicable to the final year of availability of the Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric.
A new model of the Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric (2021) is available: Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric (2022).
Pricing
The Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric had a Recommend Retail Price (RRP) of £47,500 and an On The Road Price (OTR) of £48,300. The OTR Price includes VAT, first year of VED, vehicle first registration fee, number plates and delivery.
Drivetrain and Performance
The Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric is a full electric vehicle (BEV). The maximum power of the Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric is 170 kW (228 hp). The maximum torque is 243 lb-ft. The Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric is front wheel drive and can accelerate from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 7.4 seconds. The top speed is 99 mph.
Battery and Charging
The battery of the Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric has a total capacity of 69 kWh. The usable capacity is 67 kWh. A range of about 190 miles is achievable on a fully charged battery. The actual range will however depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style.
For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in a range of around 135 mi. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the range to around 280 mi.
Charging is done using a Type 2 connector and the on-board charger has a maximum power of 11 kW. This charges a fully depleted battery back to full in around 7 hours 15 minutes. However, a 3-phase grid connection is needed to achieve this. The majority of homes and charge points currently do not have this connection. In most cases the maximum charging power will be 7.4 kW, allowing for a charge time of 10 hours 45 minutes and a charge rate of 18 mph. Charging the car using a regular wall plug will take around 34 hours 30 minutes.
Rapid charging is possible through a CCS connection. The maximum rapid charge power is 136 kW. The battery can't be charged continuously at this power. In an average rapid charge session the average charge power will be around 116 kW. This charges the battery from 10% to 80% in around 30 minutes. A rapid charge like this will add about 130 miles of range.
Energy Consumption
The combined (motorway and city) energy consumption of the Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric is about 353 Wh per mile. By comparison, this energy consumption is the equivalent of a fuel consumption of 115 mpg in a traditional petrol car.
The actual energy consumption will depend on several factors including climate, terrain, use of climate control systems and driving style. For example: sustaining high speeds in cold weather could result in an energy use of around 496 Wh per mile. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the efficiency to about 239 Wh per mile.
CO2 Emission
The Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric emits no CO2 during driving. This only includes direct emissions from the vehicle itself. The energy needed to charge the battery might have been (partly) generated by the use of fossil fuels. Vehicles with an internal combustion engine will always emit CO2 during driving. Additionally, CO2 is emitted during the production and transport of fossil fuels.
