A Range of Recharging Opportunities
You have three ways that you can get your Volvo C40 Recharge range ready to show off to the world:
- A home wallbox: This method allows you to get your vehicle from 0% to 100% overnight easily and is the preferred option for topping up.
- A 240V outlet: In the absence of access to the above, you can charge your vehicle from a regular garage outlet measuring 120V or 240V. However, you will need a special cable to do so.
- A public fast-charging station: This is by far your quickest means of powering up your vehicle, taking about 28 minutes to charge your Volvo C40 Recharge from 10% to 80%.3
Recharging at home or on the go is easy, no matter your level of EV experience. Our team would be happy to help show you the recharging options and how to use them before or after you go on your Volvo C40 Recharge test drive.
How to Get the Most Out of Your Volvo C40 Recharge Range
Most people drive about 35 miles a day, meaning you can likely pick up your kids from school, commute to work, and run errands for several days in a row and still have range left to spare.
With this in mind, if you don't need to utilize your full Volvo C40 Recharge range, it's often best to charge your vehicle to only 80% or so to prevent battery degradation that might occur years down the road. Similarly, you should avoid letting it drain all the way to 0%. Instead, start looking for an opportunity to top up at about 20%.
One of the most powerful benefits of owning an EV, aside from not having to be dependent on fluctuating gas prices, is that these all-electric models, like the Volvo C40 Recharge, need comparatively little maintenance vs. gasoline-powered vehicles. For example, there are no oil changes to worry about. However, taking care of the battery will help your relationship with your EV go the distance.
To further help with this goal, protecting your vehicle from extreme temperatures, especially cold weather, is beneficial. Park your Volvo C40 Recharge in a garage if you can.
