Powertrains

The EC40 fully electric has a standard powertrain: the Twin Motor.

With front and rear motors, this powertrain maximizes the larger 82 kWh battery for added power and torque. The result is more seamless acceleration from standstill and enhanced all-wheel drive stability.

Efficient all-wheel drive​
The Twin Motor powertrain defaults to rear-wheel drive for efficiency. Switch on all-wheel drive for continuous use.

One pedal drive​
The Twin Motor powertrain features one pedal drive to improve efficiency and make driving smoother. Speed up and slow down using just the accelerator.

Electric Range

Electric Range

The EC40 Fully electric has an electric range of up to 431 km (estimated range based upon Natural Resources Canada (NRCAN)).

Twin Motor
Estimated range up to 431 km

The figures are based upon Natural Resources Canada (NRCAN) approved test cycles. The actual range, the actual energy consumption and the charging times depend on various factors, such as the outside temperature, the current battery temperature, the charging device and other external factors as well as the condition of the batteries and vehicle.

Battery charging duration 10-80% (DC 200kW)

Charge your EC40 from 10 to 80% in around 28 minutes at DC fast charging stations.​

Charging reminder​
Get charging reminders when the battery drops to 20%. The centre display shows nearby charging stations on Google Maps, along with navigation and estimated charge levels on arrival.​

Battery pre-conditioning​
Select a charging station as your destination, and the car can heat or cool the battery before you arrive. Pre-conditioning the battery can ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for charging, so you spend less time waiting at the station.

This figure is the typical time to charge from 10 to 80% at a 200kW DC fast charging station. Figures are preliminary and derived from estimates and calculations performed for the Volvo EC40. These outcomes are not guaranteed. Charging times can vary and depend on factors such as outdoor temperature, battery temperature, charging equipment, battery condition and car condition.

The trunk of your EC40 can hold up to 480 litres, so it’s comfortable for up to five people to travel with luggage or bulky gear.

Fold down the rear seat backrests to bump that number up to 1310 litres, including a 59-litre underfloor compartment.

Storage under the hood adds up to 31 litres of cargo capacity. It’s divided into two sections. Use the upper section for things like charging cables and the lower section for a puncture repair kit or similar.
