This sleek four-seater has impressive features and technology, making it an attractive option for car buyers in the Bay Area. Let's take a closer look at the Volvo C40 Recharge to see if it's the right car for you.

What Makes the Volvo C40 Recharge Special?

The new Volvo C40 Recharge is a five-door electric SUV powered by a 78-kWh battery pack that offers up to 402 horsepower. The car also features two electric motors on each axle that provide instant torque.

Thanks to the car's air suspension with adaptive damping and its well-balanced weight distribution, it offers a comfortable ride. You'll also enjoy the car's impressive acceleration and handling, aided by four-wheel drive.

The exterior of the Volvo C40 Recharge has been designed with aerodynamics in mind, helping it slip through the air more easily and thereby reducing drag and improving fuel efficiency.

The car boasts a luxurious interior with soft leather upholstery, heated front seats, dual climate control and a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility.

Safety is also one of this car's strong points. It comes standard with traction control, automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control with stop & go functionality and more.

Which is bigger, the C40 Recharge or XC40?

The main difference between the C40 Recharge and its sibling, the XC40 Recharge, is size. The XC40 is, overall, larger than its counterpart. It has more passenger space but less cargo space than its smaller sibling, though both cars still provide plenty of room for luggage. However, they are fairly similar in terms of performance, as both models have identical powertrains that produce 402 horsepower and offer over 200 miles of driving range per charge.

What is the electric range of the Volvo C40 Recharge?

When it comes to electric vehicles, the range is key. The Volvo C40 Recharge has an impressive range of up to 226 miles on a single charge, which should easily cover most commutes or road trips without needing to stop charging. With fast-charging capabilities, you can charge up to 80 percent in just 40 minutes at many public charging stations.

The cost of charging the Volvo C40 Recharge will depend on the local electricity cost. One estimate suggests that it costs about $56 to charge an EV per month, assuming you drive the average of 1,058 miles each month. However, if you make sure to charge it overnight at home, you can save quite a bit of money.

Does the C40 Recharge qualify for a tax credit?
