Volvo C40 Recharge Single Motor Charging Guide: Speed, Time & Costs

Charging guide

Home and Destination Charging (0 → 100%)

Are you aware that there are two ways to charge your Volvo C40 Recharge Single Motor? You can either use a regular wall socket or a charging station. However, while on the go, public charging can only be carried out through a charging station, as a wall socket won't suffice. The speed at which your EV charges is determined by the type of charging station or EVSE you employ, as well as your EV's maximum charging capacity. Refer to the table below for a list of available charging options for your Volvo C40 Recharge Single Motor, along with an approximate amount of time it takes to charge the battery from empty to full.

Europe

The process of charging an electric vehicle (EV) in Europe can differ from country to country. Some European countries predominantly use 1-phase connections to the grid, while others heavily rely on 3-phase connections. Here is a table outlining all the potential ways to charge a Volvo C40 Recharge Single Motor. Not all charging modes may be available in certain countries, therefore, it is recommended that you check with local electric vehicle charging networks to find out which options are available to you.

Type 2 (Mennekes - IEC 62196)

Charging Point	Max. Power	Power	Time	Rate
Wall Plug (2.3 kW)	230V / 1x10A	2.3 kW	33h45m	11 km/h
1-phase 16A (3.7 kW)	230V / 1x16A	3.7 kW	21 hours	17 km/h
1-phase 32A (7.4 kW)	230V / 1x32A	7.4 kW	10h30m	34 km/h
3-phase 16A (11 kW)	400V / 3x16A	11 kW	7h15m	49 km/h
3-phase 32A (22 kW)	400V / 3x16A	11 kW †	7h15m	49 km/h

† = Limited by on-board charger, vehicle cannot charge faster.

Fast Charging (10 → 80%)

Fast charging is essential for increasing the distance of your trip by providing an optimal amount of range in the shortest amount of time. However, when your battery reaches an 80% state-of-charge, the charging speed will significantly decrease. Therefore, a typical fast charge rarely exceeds an 80% SoC. The speed at which your electric vehicle can charge depends on both the charging station used and the EV's maximum charging power. The table below provides a detailed overview of how to rapidly charge the Volvo C40 Recharge Single Motor.

• Max. Power: maximum power provided by charge point
• Avg. Power: average power provided by charge point over a session from 10% to 80%
• Time: time needed to charge from 10% to 80%
• Rate: average charging speed over a session from 10% to 80%

Europe

Combined Charging System (CCS Combo 2)

Charging Point	Max. Power	Avg. Power	Time	Rate
CCS (50 kW DC)	50 kW	40 kW †	73 min	200 km/h
CCS (100 kW DC)	100 kW	70 kW †	42 min	350 km/h
CCS (150 kW DC)	135 kW †	85 kW †	34 min	430 km/h

† = Limited by charging capabilities of vehicle
