Charging cost estimate
Estimated home-charging cost for one Volvo XC40 version. The full charge uses that version’s listed battery capacity, which is not a measured usable capacity. Charging loss is an assumption you can change, not a test result for this car. The tariff and annual mileage are examples until you replace them.
Estimated full charge
£18.40
Estimated electricity cost per mile
6.22p
Estimated annual charging cost
£497.60
Cost per mile uses this version’s listed Wh per mile figure. A full charge is estimated at 76.67 kWh from the meter after the assumed loss. That works out at 4.29 miles per kWh before charging loss.
Charging time
A listed charging time is shown only when this version has a 10–80% time at the exact supply power you enter. Otherwise the minutes are a VehicleScore estimate from the battery capacity, that power and the charging loss. The rapid power box starts empty unless a rapid-charge limit is listed for the car. A charger’s advertised power is not filled in for you. A calculated rapid-charge time assumes constant power. It is not a real-world charging curve, and the number you type is the supply power, not confirmation of the car’s limit.
Home, 10–80%
293 min listed
Listed charging time: 293 minutes from 10–80% on a 11 kW supply. The charging-loss box does not change a listed time.
Rapid, 10–80%
Enter capacity and power
A time needs a battery capacity and a supply power you enter.
Full vehicle specifications for every version
Home charging
The onboard figure is the Type 1 or Type 2 charger listed for that version. Listed charging times are 10–80% at the supply power named beside them. A 22 kW supply does not mean the car charges at 22 kW.

Winter range
These specifications do not include a winter or cold-weather range for the Volvo XC40, and this guide does not estimate one. Cold weather shortens an electric car’s range. Compare the official WLTP figure and the supplier’s estimated real-world range for the same version.
A single winter percentage would mix versions that already have different batteries and ranges.
Buying a used Volvo XC40
The figures above describe catalogue versions. They do not describe the battery in one used car.
- Match the advert to the model year and variant before you compare battery capacity or range.
- Read battery capacity as the listed catalogue figure. Usable capacity is not included.
- Check the charge port and onboard home-charger rating for that version, especially on older cars with a Type 1 socket.
- Treat the warranty as the new-car catalogue cover. Age and mileage decide what is left.
- Enter the registration for history and any battery health records available for that vehicle. This page cannot show them.
Data sources
Battery capacity, official WLTP range, estimated real-world range, listed charging times, energy use and warranty figures are vehicle specifications supplied by UK Vehicle Data. Estimated real-world range is that supplier’s estimate, not a measurement by VehicleScore. Charging costs and any minute marked as calculated are VehicleScore estimates from the figures you can see. Usable battery capacity and winter range are not in this specification set, so they are not shown. Listed charging times that cannot be a 10–80% charge of a passenger car are left out.
Each row is one catalogue version. Figures are not averaged across model years or variants.
Questions about the Volvo XC40
What battery capacity does the Volvo XC40 have?
Battery capacity differs by version: 69 kWh, 78 kWh. Each figure belongs to the model year and variant in the table. They are not averaged, and none of them is a measured usable capacity.
What is the official WLTP range of the Volvo XC40?
Official WLTP combined range differs by version: 257 miles, 259 miles, 262 miles, 264 miles, 272 miles, 295 miles. The range table shows which model year and variant each figure belongs to.
What is the estimated real-world range of the Volvo XC40?
The supplier’s estimated real-world range is 295 miles on the versions that include it. This is not a VehicleScore road test, and it is separate from the official WLTP figure.
How efficient is the Volvo XC40?
Energy use differs by version: 186 Wh/mile, 233 Wh/mile, 261 Wh/mile, 263 Wh/mile, 268 Wh/mile, 285 Wh/mile, 286 Wh/mile, 301 Wh/mile, 375 Wh/mile, 380 Wh/mile. Miles per kWh on the page is calculated from that version’s Wh per mile figure.
What home charger does the Volvo XC40 accept?
Onboard home-charger ratings differ by version: 11 kW, 22 kW. Use the version you are comparing, not a single figure for the whole model.
How fast can the Volvo XC40 rapid charge?
No confirmed rapid-charge limit is listed for these Volvo XC40 versions. Listed charging times are 10–80% at the supply power stored with that version. The highest supply power is not the car’s maximum charging speed.
What battery warranty does the Volvo XC40 have?
The listed battery warranty is 8 years / 100,000 miles on the versions that include it. Where both a time limit and a mileage limit are stored, the record does not say which one ends the cover. This is the new-car catalogue warranty, not the cover left on a used car.
What is the winter range of the Volvo XC40?
These specifications do not include a winter or cold-weather range for the Volvo XC40, and this page does not estimate one. The range table shows the official WLTP figure, any other official test cycle that is listed, and the supplier’s estimated real-world range where those fields are filled in.
What should I check before buying a used Volvo XC40?
Match the advert to the model year and variant before you compare battery capacity, range or charging. These pages describe catalogue versions. They do not show one car’s battery health or the warranty cover it has left. Enter the registration to check history and any battery health records available for that vehicle.
