2021 Volvo XC40 Recharge – Volvo’s first electric car may not have been ready until later this year, starts with the all-electric 2021 volvo XC40 Recharge, but it did not stop Swedish producers from expanding the availability of its hybridizing technology.

2021 Volvo XC40 Recharge Exterior
In terms of style, it’s practically identical to Haute-couture Volvo XC40. Of course, there is no exhaust, but the most prominent change in design is Girl. As seen in other electric vehicles, Volvo replaces the open bar with solid panels to emphasize the absence of an internal combustion engine. There is still an open gap at the bottom to allow a small amount of airflow to cool the front motor.
Inside, it is the same ultra-modern cabin as XC40, until you arrive at the infotainment screen. Gone was the previous census system. Instead, it’s the new Android interface that Google developed offers a new level of connectivity between apps that drivers might use on their phones and the vehicle itself.

The Volvo mild hybrid has no plug-in support, and in fact, uses the recovered power from braking. It charges the 48V battery, which then gives the integrated generator starter power. With that generator, Volvo can support temporary combustion engines, lower emissions slightly, and create a smoother stop/start experience rather than traditional methods.
Volvo’s first all-electric car is based on its Kompaknya Modular architecture platform which supports XC40 vehicles, Polestar 2, and Lynk & Co. In the low-end “skateboard ” layout, the liquid-cooled 78-kWh battery pack is installed between the electric motors on each axle, generating 408 hp torque and 487 lb-ft torque. Volvo claims the time 0-60 mph 4.9 seconds, with a range of over 200 miles available between charges.
Volvo with prior commitment to become fully electrically, the original meat of its EV movement will not arrive until Q4 this year. That’s when Volvo plans to release XC40 Recharge, an all-electric version of its short crossover.
What’s more, the structural reinforcements that surround the battery increase the rigidity of the vehicle, while the battery pack itself lowers the center of gravity compared to the gas-powered XC40. That said, it adds about 1,100 pounds to a comparable, X5 T5 weight.
