Powertrains

Single Motor

Powertrains

Choose from four powertrains designed to deliver an engaging driving experience without compromising efficiency.

Single Motor The balance of performance and efficiency makes this powertrain ideal for drivers with a regular commute and busy weekends. The rear motor and its 70 kWh battery provide a consistent output for quiet, comfortable driving.

Single Motor Extended Range This option pairs the rear motor with a larger {EH-L:batteryNominalEnergy:exactValue} kWh battery. This configuration extends your range, while an advanced inverter in the motor further boosts efficiency.

Twin Motor With front and rear motors, this powertrain maximises the larger {ER-E:batteryNominalEnergy:exactValue} kWh battery for added power and torque. The result is more seamless acceleration from standstill and enhanced all-wheel drive stability.

Twin Motor Performance This powertrain adds a {EY-E:batteryNominalEnergy:exactValue} kWh boost to the front motor for even more power, acceleration and sheer driving excitement.

Efficient all-wheel drive The Twin Motor and Twin Motor Performance powertrains default to rear-wheel drive for efficiency. Switch on all-wheel drive for continuous use.

One pedal drive All powertrain options include one pedal drive to improve efficiency and make driving smoother. Speed up or slow down using just the accelerator. Keep your foot off, and the car will brake to a standstill.

Battery charging duration 10-80% (DC 200kW)

Charge your EC40 from 10 to 80 per cent in around 27 minutes at DC fast charging stations.

Charging reminder Get charging reminders when the battery drops to 20 per cent. The centre display shows nearby charging stations on Google Maps, along with navigation and estimated charge levels on arrival.

Battery pre-conditioning Select a charging station as your destination, and the car can heat or cool the battery before you arrive. Pre-conditioning the battery can ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for charging, so you spend less time waiting at the station.

This figure is the typical time to charge from 10 to 80 per cent at a 200kW DC fast charging station. Figures are preliminary and derived from estimates and calculations performed for the Volvo EC40. These outcomes are not guaranteed. Charging times can vary and depend on factors such as outdoor temperature, battery temperature, charging equipment, battery condition and car condition. Vehicle certification pending.

kWh

Battery energy (nominal)

The powertrain you choose determines the battery in your EC40. Battery capacity impacts range and charging times.

The Single Motor powertrain uses a 70 kWh battery. All other powertrains use a 70 kWh battery. We suggest charging to 90 per cent for daily driving, our standard recommendation for the best battery life.

The boot of your EC40 can hold up to 480 litres, so it’s comfortable for up to five people to travel with luggage or bulky gear.

Fold down the rear seat backrests to bump that number up to 1310 litres, including a 59-litre underfloor compartment.

Storage under the bonnet adds up to 31 litres of cargo capacity. It’s divided into two sections. Use the upper section for things like charging cables and the lower section for a puncture repair kit or similar.
