Our whole team here at Volvo Cars Richmond is excited by these changes to the Volvo C40 Recharge, an all-electric luxury fastback SUV that pairs efficiency with power and style. Read on to learn about the 2024 Volvo C40 charging time, specs, and more.

2024 Volvo C40 Recharge Specs and Performance
The 2024 Volvo C40 Recharge boasts a bold new Single Motor powertrain option that offers increased range over the 2023 model. The vehicle uses a second-generation permanent magnet electric motor developed by Volvo Cars to achieve increased efficiency. The new Single Motor Volvo C40 powertrain will use a 248-horsepower motor on the rear axle to zip down the roads in Richmond, VA. Paired with a 79-kWh battery and rear-wheel drive, the new Volvo C40 Recharge will be a blast to drive.
The Twin Motor powertrain returns for the 2024 Volvo C40 Recharge. The 2023 model used a quartet of 150-kW electric motors to move down the road, but the 2024 model boasts a 255-horsepower motor on the rear axle and a new asynchronous 147-horsepower motor on the front axle. This new powertrain only intermittently uses the front motor, allowing it to drive more efficiently, as we see below.
The Single Motor model is expected to charge from 10% to 80% in a mere 28 minutes or so at a DC fast-charging station.1 Many of these are publically available, offering drivers the ability to quickly refill their batteries while on the go. Your friendly Volvo dealer in Richmond, VA, can help you identify local DC fast-charging stations.
