Overview
Volvo XC40 Recharge Twin Pure Electric 2021 overview
Official EPA range is 208 mi, with 75 kWh usable battery, DC up to 150 kW (CCS Combo 1) and typical 10-80% stops near 31 min (est.). Volvo XC40 Recharge Twin Pure Electric 2021 is an electric SUV with AWD and 5 seats.
Real-world estimate (BEVDB model, est.): 128 miles (cold highway) and 194 miles (mild city). A 10-minute DC top-up (est.) adds 69 miles. Combined efficiency is 79 MPGe, or about 43 kWh/100 mi.
Fast charging keeps road-trip stops short, though the range between them suits mixed daily driving best. Battery preconditioning supports navigation-based routing.
Real Range
| City - Mild Weather | 194 miles |
| City - Cold Weather | 147 miles |
| Highway - Mild Weather | 154 miles |
| Highway - Cold Weather | 128 miles |
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.

Fast-charging times may use BEVDB estimates when measured 10–80% data is unavailable. Lower-power charger scenarios are estimated from the vehicle's 10–80% charging profile.
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.

Energy Consumption
BEVDB model
| Combined real range (estimate) | 162.8 miles |
| Combined Energy Use (estimate) | 45.7 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.
