At a Glance: 2022 Volvo C40 Recharge

Last year, Volvo gave us their first ever all-electric vehicle; the XC40 Recharge. This year, they’ve given the car the “coupe-like” treatment in the form of the 2022 Volvo C40 Recharge. Mechanically, it is the same as the XC40 but with a coupe-like SUV design that everyone seems to want these days.

The Volvo C40 comes standard with two electric motors that power the front & rear axles. Combined, they have an output of 402 hp and 486 lb-ft of torque (300 kW & 659 Nm). That is quick enough for a 0-100 km/h time of around 4.5 seconds. Pretty good for something that tips the scales at 2,185 kg (4,817 lbs). Like many other electric vehicles, power is instant and relentless until the speed is hovering around the 120 km/h mark. After which the acceleration slows down but it’s still more than enough for our roads here in North America.

Providing the power to the motors is a floor mounted battery pack that has 75 kWh of usable energy. It allows the 2022 C40 to drive for up to 364 km (226 miles). That is on the low side when compared to the likes of the Tesla Model Y or Hyundai Ioniq 5 but it’s about the same as the Jaguar I-Pace.

Recharging the battery can be done at a maximum of 150 kW and from 10% to 80% in about 33 minutes. From the fastest level 2 charger, it’ll be around 8 hours from 0% to 100%. Not too bad but again, the Ioniq 5 can do it faster.

The 2022 Volvo C40 Recharge starts at $59,950 CAD ($55,300 USD). This demo vehicle was equipped with the price of $75,500 CAD ($60,795 USD).

Thank you for your efforts. But I don´t want to hear or see something about that bonkers E-transport cabin.

It's Chinese, not wedish any more. My neighbour just bought one, it's pig ugly. a big square lump. The wheels are hideous. It only has a range of 200 miles in the Winter, and the quality is not that good for so much money.
It's the petrol body shell fitted with a battery. There is even a transmission tunnel . The charging socket has been fitted where the old fuel cap was.
