LEARN ABOUT CHARGING

Cost of ownership of an electrified car can be significantly lower than that of an equivalent fuel car.

Cost of purchase

In many places, the cost of purchasing an electric vehicle is offset by tax incentives. Such benefits vary in different countries.

Cost of maintenance

With fewer moving mechanical parts and fluids, service and maintenance often costs less for an electric car.

Cost of daily use

For many people, charging is done mainly at home or at work. If you can do most of your charging at these places, the electricity to charge your car can cost significantly less than the fuel to drive the equivalent mileage.

What do you want to know about Volvo Recharge?


Why has Volvo Cars decided to move to electric powertrains?

We have been innovating in the field of electric powertrains since the 1970s. For us this is a natural progression in terms of technology and a clear statement of our commitment towards sustainable mobility and the reduction of emissions. Our ambition is to reduce our carbon footprint by 40% per car by 2025 compared to 2018. And to be climate neutral by 2040.

What are the main benefits of an electrified powertrain over a conventional combustion engine?

Electrified powertrains offer a range of benefits – from reducing tailpipe emissions during driving and likely lower operating costs, to delivering a more refined drive and responsive acceleration feel on take-off.

Which Volvo models are available as a Recharge plug-in hybrid car?

As from 2019, all our models are available with Recharge plug-in hybrid powertrain technology.

How safe is an electric car?

All battery electric cars undergo the same tests as petrol or diesel cars. In Europe, Euro NCAP has long been the benchmark for car safety. Test have also become even tougher with new demands on, among other things, auto brakes. At Volvo, all cars in the entire model range have received the highest marks in their respective tests. And with the advanced safety technology of the XC40 Recharge pure electric, we introduce one of the world’s safest electric cars.
