Below are the factors that affect the Volvo C40 Recharge range:
Battery and Motor: A 78 kWh battery and a dual electric motor arrangement that produces 408 PS and 660 Nm of torque power the Volvo C40 Recharge. The C40 Recharge can sprint from 0 to 100 kmph in just 4.7 seconds because of its all-wheel-drive technology. With a WLTP-claimed range of 530 km, the battery and engine arrangement are key factors in deciding the vehicle's range. How you drive and how much power you use directly impact the range.
Vehicle Load: The Volvo C40 Recharge has room for five passengers and 413 litres of boot space. However, because it takes more energy to propel a fully loaded vehicle—including people and cargo—it weighs more and may have a shorter range.
Design and Aerodynamics: The sleek SUV-coupe design of the Volvo C40 Recharge, along with its aerodynamic shape, contributes to the vehicle's overall energy efficiency. The aerodynamic profile helps reduce drag at higher speeds, improving the vehicle’s range on highways.
Terrain: The overall range may be lowered by hilly or mountainous terrain because electric motors require more power, particularly while climbing hills. With Hill Hold and Descent Control, the C40 Recharge can regulate power more efficiently on steep hills, reducing the impact on range.
Driving Conditions: Driving circumstances can impact the range of the C40 Recharge, just like they do for most other electric vehicles. Travelling in cities with lots of stops and starts usually uses more energy than travelling steadily on the highway, which allows for more efficiency. When travelling at steady speeds, the electric motors operate more effectively.
