Volvo XC40 Recharge Range

Below are some of the factors that affect the Volvo XC40 Recharge range:

• Driving Style: How the XC40 Recharge is driven greatly influences how far it will go. The car can go from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds, so aggressive acceleration or frequent hard braking may be alluring, but they will quickly drain the battery. To optimise range, drive more smoothly and gradually accelerate and decelerate.

• Load and Cargo Weight: The Volvo XC40 Recharge's maximum payload capacity is 410 litres, and like with other automobiles, carrying a larger load would reduce the vehicle's efficiency. Reduced range results from the battery working harder to move the car when it is heavier. Limiting the number of passengers and cargo can enhance range efficiency.

• Driving Speed: The Volvo XC40 Recharge's aerodynamic shape helps to maximise range at moderate speeds. However, high speeds, particularly on highways, can increase wind resistance and accelerate battery drain. Thus, you may maximise the 505 km electric range by travelling steadily and moderately.

• Battery Charging Habits: While it is beneficial to fully charge the XC40 Recharge batteries for extended travels, it is best to keep them between 20% and 80% charged for everyday use to ensure longevity and optimal performance. With just 34 minutes, the XC40 Recharge can charge 10% to 80%, making it perfect for rapid top-ups during longer trips.

• Tyre Pressure and Wheel Alignment: Properly inflated tyres and correctly aligned wheels reduce friction with the road, thereby improving the XC40 Recharge’s range. Regularly checking and maintaining optimal tyre pressure is essential for improving energy efficiency.
