While the internal combustion engine has come a long way in its extensive history, its inherent efficiency limitations and collective environmental impact have spurred the pursuit of a viable alternative. Electric vehicles are much more efficient than gas-only engines in converting their fuel source into useful energy, resulting in significantly reduced greenhouse gas emissions and lower operating costs. Plus, sealed electric motors don't require many routine service items like oil changes or belt replacements, saving you time and money on maintenance, too.

Standard on the XC40 Recharge Twin and C40 Recharge Twin Volvo's pure electric powertrain consists of a pair of potent electric motors, one on each axle, that produce an all-wheel-drive 402 hp and 487 lb-ft torque. Volvo pure-electric powertrains generate near-instant torque, capable of accelerating to 60 mph from a standstill in under 4.7 seconds. The 75-kWh lithium-ion battery provides an estimated 223 miles of emissions-free range and can be fully charged in about 8 hours using Level 2 220V charging equipment. And with 150-kW fast charging, you can add 80% charge in under 40 minutes.
