The Volvo C40 Recharge Pure Electric was named ‘Electric Vehicle of the Year’ in CarPlus.my’s Editor’s Choice Awards for the years 2022 and 2023.
The ‘Electric Vehicle of the Year’ is an inaugural category for the awards, recognising the increased number of electric car marques and models now available in Malaysia since the awards started in 2021. This is also the second award presented to the Volvo C40 Recharge Pure Electric – Volvo Car Malaysia’s first-ever SUV designed from the start as an electric-only model – since its introduction in December 2022.
Tai Choo Yee, CarPlus.my Editor in Chief, paid a personal visit to the Volvo Car Malaysia’s Head Office to present the award to Charles Frump, Managing Director of Volvo Car Malaysia. In his awards announcement video, Tai said, "The Volvo C40's horsepower and torque is the strongest amongst competitors in the same class and price range. It is also among a handful of EV models assembled in Malaysia (CKD) that are exempt from SST and has ample range to allow worry-free travel with a large degree of freedom."
Tai also noted the Volvo C40 Recharge Pure Electric’s ample range, allowing up to 450km** of electric and worry-free travels – including the DC fast charging rate of up to 150kW***, allowing a 10% to 80% state of charge in just 28 minutes.
The accolade from Carplus.my underscores the Volvo C40 Recharge Pure Electric’s competitiveness among the growing number of EVs makes in the country, and a bolster to the brand’s continued commitment for electrification while leading the transition to embrace an electric lifestyle in Malaysia.
In celebration of the award, Volvo Car Malaysia is offering an instant cash rebate of RM16,000 for customers who purchase the award-winning Volvo C40 Recharge Pure Electric, or an instant cash rebate of
RM25,000 for the XC40 Recharge Pure Electric. This promotion lasts until 31 December 2023.
