The battery has a nominal capacity of 78 kWh. A fully-charged battery gives you a projected range of up to 418km/208 miles* in mixed driving before you need to recharge. However, 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 can impact the range of an C40 Recharge Pure Electric includes how much electricity you use for functions in the car such as heating and cooling of the Vehicle. One way to improve the range is to pre-condition your Vehicle during charging so it’s already at a comfortable temperature when you go.

On a daily basis, you will probably charge the battery whenever the Vehicle is parked where charging is possible – be it at home, at work or in the city. So the range should not be an issue for everyday driving, provided that you have good access to AC or DC fast charging solutions.

*Figures according to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (“WLTP”) stated in the Website are derived from laboratory testing. Factors including but not limited to driving style, road and traffic conditions, environmental influences, vehicle condition and accessories fitted may change these figures. In the real world the range you experience can differ from that stated in the Website. These figures stated in the Website are meant for comparison purposes.

The charging time depends on the charging equipment you use and the electric installation at your home. The standard home charging cable with a household connector is primarily an auxiliary cable. Charging an empty battery to 100 per cent with this cable takes approximately 40–72 hours depending on market, at a charge rate of about 7–14 km range per hour.

For regular and considerably shorter charging times at home, we recommend a 3-phase 11 kW AC fast charging or wallbox. This takes about 8 hours to charge (from empty to 100 per cent), or around 50–60 km range per hour.

These Charging times are a guide only and depend on factors such as outdoor temperature, current battery temperature, charging equipment, battery condition and Vehicle condition. Additional charges may apply when using charging stations.

The standard-fitted home charging cable that comes with the Vehicle is primarily designed as an auxiliary cable for household applications. For considerably faster and more convenient charging at home, we recommend purchasing and installing a 3-phase 11 kW wallbox, which is sold separately.

Yes, our pure electric compact SUV is perfectly suited for comfortable long-distance driving. And the battery’s high capacity with a projected range of up to 418km/208 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. At a 150 kW DC fast charging station, it’s possible to charge the battery from zero to 80 per cent in approximately 40 minutes (or around 80–100 km range in 10 minutes) – just enough time to rest or have a meal during the trip.*

If the battery or a battery module needs to be replaced, this can be done just like any other technical part of the Vehicle.

The battery means there is 500 kg of extra weight that needs to be addressed in an impact – for the Vehicle’s occupants as well as for other vehicles. The battery also needs separate protection to avoid harmful leakage after a collision. By utilising a range of innovative safety solutions, Volvo Cars’ safety engineers have met all these challenges.

Smart battery design means all occupants have as much space as in an ordinary C40. This also gives uncompromised versatility and smart storage solutions. The rear load compartment capacity is 413 litres above the load floor. The battery encroaches on the space below the load floor, but this is to a large extent compensated by the front load compartment under the hood, which offers space for charging cables and other items.

The Volvo Cars Warranty for the battery is 8 years or 160,000km, whichever occurs first, provided that the Vehicle and battery are maintained and used in accordance with Volvo Cars’ recommendations. Please see the Owners’ Manual and other relevant documents provided to you for more information.

The electric motors are sealed for life and maintenance-free. So compared to a combustion engine-propelled car, the pure electric C40 Recharge needs much less maintenance which may result in lower running costs.

Volvo Cars is committed to full traceability, helping to ensure that our customers can drive electrified Volvos knowing the raw material for the batteries has been sourced responsibly. The introduction of blockchain technology significantly boosts traceability within our cobalt supply chain. Blockchain, in conjunction with inspection on mine sites, GPS tracking, entry and exit scanning, verified logistics providers, facial recognition, ID checks, and time tracking, all contribute to a material’s traceability from a mine to the car factory.

Volvo Cars works closely with our suppliers to increase the sustainability of our products and services, including through securing responsible supply chains and making efficient use of resources. We are committed to the responsible sourcing of minerals and metals, and fully support the OECD Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-affected and High-risk Areas. In this respect, we require our battery suppliers to support our commitment to have full transparency of our cobalt supply chain by 2020, and to work towards full traceability.

Sustainability performance is a key consideration when assessing and selecting our suppliers. We monitor the performance of existing suppliers, and follow up with third party audits. We also put requirements on our battery suppliers to minimise carbon emissions during the production processes, including through the use of renewable energy. All our suppliers have to agree to the Volvo Cars' Code of Conduct for Business Partners, which includes the observation of human rights, including labour rights.
