Overview

Volvo C40 Recharge Twin Pure Electric 2021 overview

Official EPA range is 226 mi, with 75 kWh usable battery, DC up to 149 kW (CCS Combo 1) and typical 10-80% stops near 29 min (est.). Volvo C40 Recharge Twin Pure Electric 2021 is an electric SUV with AWD and 5 seats.

Real-world estimate (BEVDB model, est.): 147 miles (cold highway) and 228 miles (mild city). A 10-minute DC top-up (est.) adds 75 miles. Combined efficiency is 87 MPGe, or about 38.7 kWh/100 mi.

Well-suited to daily use and the occasional longer drive. Battery preconditioning supports navigation-based routing.

Estimates of actual range. The values given here are BEVDB estimates calculated from EPA data and usable battery capacity, based on the BEVDB model. The BEVDB real-range card uses four fixed reference scenarios: City (Mild), Highway (Mild), City (Cold), and Highway (Cold). Mild means +20°C (70°F) without intensive climate-control use; cold means -10°C (14°F) with cabin heating. City speed is 50 km/h (30 mph), and highway speed is 110 km/h (70 mph). These figures are not official test results. Actual range will vary depending on speed, temperature, road conditions, road profile, load, tires, and driving style.

Estimated charging times are based on usable battery capacity, charging power and vehicle charging limits. Peak DC power is usually reached only briefly; average 10–80% power is more useful for estimating real charging time. Actual charging speed can vary by charger output, battery temperature, state of charge, weather, software and battery condition.

Combined real range (estimate)189.5 miles
Combined Energy Use (estimate)39.4 kWh/100 mi

BEVDB estimates use EPA-rated (or derived) consumption and usable battery capacity to model city/highway ranges; the combined value is a weighted mix of city/highway and mild/cold scenarios. See the methodology and data sources for inputs, official source boundaries, fallback rules, and versioning.
