At the charger

How fast does the Volvo EX40 charge?

Estimated 10–80% session times for the EX40 Single Motor ER (MY26) (79 kWh useable), computed by PlugSphere from the battery size, the 11 kW onboard AC charger and a typical DC charging power of 110 kW.

Charger Effective power 10–80% time Range added per 10 min
7.4 kW AC ~6.7 kW ~8 h 18 min ~6 km
11 kW AC ~9.9 kW ~5 h 35 min ~8 km
22 kW AC ~9.9 kW ~5 h 35 min ~8 km
50 kW DC ~50 kW ~66 min ~42 km
150 kW DC ~110 kW ~30 min ~93 km
350 kW DC ~110 kW ~30 min ~93 km

Method: 10–80% covers 70% of the useable battery; AC assumes ~90% charging efficiency; DC assumes the session averages the car's typical charging power up to the charger's limit. Real sessions vary with temperature and battery state.

Volvo EX40 — common questions

Answers computed from this model's data in the PlugSphere database.

Does the Volvo EX40 have a heat pump?

Yes — a heat pump is available, which helps protect driving range in cold weather.

Can the Volvo EX40 tow?

Yes — a towbar is approved with a braked rating of 1,500–1,800 kg depending on the variant. Check the exact variant before buying: towing approval differs between battery and drivetrain versions.

Can it power external devices (V2L)?

No — vehicle-to-load is not supported on this model.

What battery does the Volvo EX40 use?

The reference variant uses a NCM pack with 79 kWh of useable capacity.

Which public chargers can the Volvo EX40 use?

The Volvo EX40 charges via Type 2 CCS. On the PlugSphere map that matches 144,123 stations worldwide, of which 38,056 offer 50 kW+ DC fast charging.

How much does it cost to fully charge a Volvo EX40?

With its 79 kWh useable battery, a full charge costs about €23.70 at a €0.30/kWh home tariff or roughly €47.40 at a €0.60/kWh public DC charger — before any session or idle fees. Put your own local price into the PlugSphere charging-cost calculator for an exact figure per country and per session.

How long will I be waiting at a charger with a Volvo EX40?

Plan around 30 minutes for the usual 10–80% stop at a 150 kW charger — the Volvo EX40 sustains roughly 110 kW in a DC session. On AC, a full overnight charge at 11 kW takes about 7 hours. The charging-time calculator covers any charger power and state of charge.

How long does the Volvo EX40 battery last?

Expect the pack to outlast its industry-standard warranty of 8 years or 160,000 km to at least 70% capacity: fleet telemetry shows EV batteries losing only around 1.8–2% a year on average. The EX40 uses NCM chemistry — keep daily charging near 80% to age it gently.

How much does a Volvo EX40 battery replacement cost?

Out of warranty, a 79 kWh pack costs roughly €7,900–€14,200 at 2026 pack-level prices of €100–180 per kWh, plus labour. Inside the 8-year battery warranty a failing pack is replaced free, and single-module repairs are often a fraction of the full price.

Should I charge the Volvo EX40 to 100% every night?

Daily 80% is the kinder habit for this model (NCM chemistry) — reserve 100% charges for long-trip days. Only LFP-battery EVs are designed for routine full charging.

Where should I stop on a long Volvo EX40 trip — and what is plan B?

The PlugSphere route planner spaces stops for the Volvo EX40's real range (segments of roughly 320 km with a 90% start and 10% reserve) and picks stations along the actual road route — each suggested stop comes with two nearby backup chargers in case the first is busy or offline.
