All about the Volvo C40 Recharge Single Motor
No longer available
This electric vehicle is no longer in production and not available to buy new. The Volvo C40 Recharge Single Motor was available from December 2022 until March 2024. Financial data like price, leasing and company car tax were applicable to the final year of availability of the Volvo C40 Recharge Single Motor.
A new model of the Volvo C40 Recharge Single Motor (2022) is available: Volvo EC40 Single Motor (2024).
Pricing
The Volvo C40 Recharge Single Motor had a Recommend Retail Price (RRP) of £47,500 and an On The Road Price (OTR) of £48,355. The OTR Price includes VAT, first year of VED, vehicle first registration fee, number plates and delivery.
Drivetrain and Performance
The Volvo C40 Recharge Single Motor is a full electric vehicle (BEV). The maximum power of the Volvo C40 Recharge Single Motor is 175 kW (235 hp). The maximum torque is 310 lb-ft. The Volvo C40 Recharge Single Motor is rear wheel drive and can accelerate from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 7.3 seconds. The top speed is 112 mph.
Battery and Charging
The battery of the Volvo C40 Recharge Single Motor has a total capacity of 69 kWh. The usable capacity is 66 kWh. An estimated range of about 220 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 155 mi. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the range to around 320 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 30 minutes and a charge rate of 21 mph. Charging the car using a regular wall plug will take around 33 hours 45 minutes.
Rapid charging is possible through a CCS connection. The maximum rapid charge power is 135 kW. The battery can't be charged continuously at this power. In an average rapid charge session the average charge power will be around 85 kW. This charges the battery from 10% to 80% in around 35 minutes. A rapid charge like this will add about 150 miles of range.
Energy Consumption
The estimated combined (motorway and city) energy consumption of the Volvo C40 Recharge Single Motor is about 300 Wh per mile. By comparison, this energy consumption is the equivalent of a fuel consumption of 135 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 426 Wh per mile. However, driving at low speeds in mild weather will increase the efficiency to about 206 Wh per mile.
CO2 Emission
The Volvo C40 Recharge Single Motor 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.
Preceding model
The model shown on this page is the successor of the Volvo C40 Recharge Pure Electric, which was available to order from February 2022 until December 2022.
The previous model was £1255 less expensive, had 15 mi less range, same acceleration and was 9% less energy efficient.
