Volvo Cars Recharge is the overarching range name for all cars by Volvo with any form of electric charging system, including both fully electric and plug in hybrid powertrains. The nameplate Recharge appears on the rear side columns of the cars in the same way as the Momentum, R Design, and Inscription trim ranges are marked.
Over the next five years, Volvo Cars intends to launch one fully electric car every year, with the aim to have fully electric cars make up half of its global sales by 2025, while the other half will be hybrids. The models of the Volvo C40, XC40, XC60, S60, V60, XC90, S90 and V90 all have one option of Recharge available.
Volvo announced upgraded powertrains for their lineup Recharge in September 2021. This new change is reflected in their sixty and ninety series models. The models will be getting a larger battery pack, from 11.6 to 18.8 kWh (42 to 68 MJ). This move further improves in pure electric driving, giving owners up to 90 kilometres (56 mi) of pure EV range (model dependant). That in itself is better than the previous iteration with only up to 50 kilometres (31 mi) of EV range.The mentioned models received a more powerful electric motor to bump up output figures. For the Recharge T6, combined power is now rated at 350 horsepower (261 kW; 355 PS) whilst the more powerful Recharge T8 gets a max combined power output of 455 horsepower (339 kW; 461 PS).
