The Volvo XC40 Recharge is a fully electric version of the XC40 compact SUV from Volvo. It sits in the premium compact electric SUV segment and uses a five-door crossover body with seating for five. The model served as Volvo’s first fully electric production vehicle before the company renamed the lineup with the EX naming system.

The XC40 Recharge uses lithium-ion battery packs around 69 kWh and 82 kWh depending on the variant. WLTP range reaches about 461 km for the smaller battery and up to about 573 km for the extended-range version. Dual-motor versions deliver lower range due to higher output. DC fast charging supports roughly 150 kW to 200 kW depending on the model, with a typical 10 to 80 percent charge taking around 28 to 33 minutes.

Pricing places the XC40 Recharge in the premium compact EV category, with many markets listing starting prices near $50,000 before incentives. The SUV suits buyers who want a compact electric luxury SUV with strong safety features and all-wheel-drive performance. Other EVs from the brand include the Volvo EX30 and Volvo EX40. Key alternatives include the Tesla Model Y and Audi Q4 e-tron. Compared with the Tesla Model Y, the XC40 Recharge focuses more on interior materials and traditional SUV design while the Tesla offers longer range.
