Volvo Cars Recharge is the overarching range name for all cars by Volvo with any form of electric charging system, including both fully electric and plug in hybrid powertrains.
The Recharge nameplate appears on the rear-side columns of the cars in the same way as the Momentum, R Design, and Inscription trim ranges are marked.
The models have a larger battery pack, from 11.6 to 18.8 kWh (42 to 68 MJ), giving owners up to 90 kilometres (56 mi) of pure EV range (model dependant), compared with the previous range of 50 kilometres (31 mi).
The design is largely based on the existing internal combustion engine powered XC40 but with the removal of the traditional front grille and the tailpipe.
It offers a range of over 400 kilometres (250 mi) on a single charge under the WLTP drive cycle and a power output of 408 horsepower (304 kW; 414 PS).
