New single-motor Recharge is the way to go if you want an electric XC40.

Volvo is having a good run right now. It produces attractive automobiles, which aids sales, which are currently at an all-time high.

The XC40 is the most popular model, owing to the fact that it is the cheapest entry into a Volvo SUV.

If you order one now, you may have to wait up to a year for it to arrive in your driveway.

Volvo has long produced some of the greatest plug-in hybrids on the market, but the XC40 was the first Volvo to go all electric. Volvo is having a good run right now. It produces attractive automobiles, which aids sales, which are currently at an all-time high.

The XC40 Recharge Twin was introduced with two electric motors (one front and one rear), providing it all-wheel drive and a whopping 408 horsepower.

This allowed this compact family SUV to keep up with full-fledged sports cars in a straight line, which seemed a little silly with the kids in the rear.

You can now have the Recharge as simply a Recharge. It has a significantly smaller battery and only one front-mounted motor.

With 231 horsepower, it’s slower, but not by much, reaching 62 mph in 7.4 seconds. It also goes somewhat further between plug-ins, with a range of 263 miles.

Because the battery is significantly smaller, it charges slightly faster. If you can locate a 150kW charger (still uncommon on our roads), you can charge from 10% to 80% in around half an hour.

50kW chargers, which take slightly under an hour to charge, are far more prevalent.
