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

Charging guide

Home and Destination Charging (0 → 100%)

Did you know that there are two ways to recharge your Volvo C40 Recharge Twin Motor? You can either plug it into a regular wall socket or use a charging station. However, when you're on the go, a charging station is the only option available for recharging your vehicle, since a wall plug won't suffice. The speed at which your electric vehicle charges is dependent on the type of charging station or EVSE, as well as your EV's maximum charging capacity. Below is a chart that lists all the available charging options for your Volvo C40 Recharge Twin Motor, along with the estimated time required for a full charge starting from zero.

Europe

The charging process for electric vehicles (EVs) in Europe is not uniform across all countries. While some countries mainly use 1-phase connections for the grid, others depend on 3-phase connections. In order to charge a Volvo C40 Recharge Twin Motor, there are different ways available, as illustrated in the table below. Nonetheless, it's important to note that certain charging modes may not be accessible in certain regions. It's highly recommended that you verify with your local electric vehicle charging networks to ascertain which charging options are accessible to you.

Type 2 (Mennekes - IEC 62196)

Charging Point	Max. Power	Power	Time	Rate
Wall Plug (2.3 kW)	230V / 1x10A	2.3 kW	40h30m	10 km/h
1-phase 16A (3.7 kW)	230V / 1x16A	3.7 kW	25h15m	16 km/h
1-phase 32A (7.4 kW)	230V / 1x32A	7.4 kW	12h45m	31 km/h
3-phase 16A (11 kW)	400V / 3x16A	11 kW	8h30m	47 km/h
3-phase 32A (22 kW)	400V / 3x16A	11 kW †	8h30m	47 km/h

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

Fast Charging (10 → 80%)

Fast charging is crucial in ensuring that electric vehicles can travel longer distances by adding the necessary range quickly. However, it's important to remember that charging power reduces significantly upon reaching 80% state-of-charge, making it rare for conventional fast charging to surpass this. The charging time for an electric vehicle is dependent on the charging station used and the EV's maximum charging power. For a speedy charge on the Volvo C40 Recharge Twin Motor, please refer to the comprehensive overview provided in the table below.

• 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%
