Performance
The Volvo EX40 Single Motor has a maximum power of 175 kW (238 hp / 235 bhp) and a total torque of 420 Nm (310 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 7.3 seconds and reaches a top speed of 180 km/h (112 mph).
Battery, Range, and Charging
The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 69.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 66.0 kWh, providing a 3.0 kWh buffer (4.3%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 355 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system, aligning with industry standards.
Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range varies between 467 to 454 km (290-282 miles), depending on the specific configuration and options, such as wheel size. Larger wheels can increase energy consumption and subsequently reduce the overall range.
The vehicle's energy consumption is rated at 14.1 kWh/100 km for the base model and 14.5 kWh/100 km for the top-tier model under the WLTP test cycle.
For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 150 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 87 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 33 minutes with an average charging speed of 85 kW.
Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 5% to 53%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 89 kW, with each charging session taking about 21 minutes and 23 seconds.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 28 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 10 hours and 46 minutes, needing seven charging stops from 5% to 52%, totaling 147 minutes of charging time.
