2 Answers
The range of the Volvo XC40 pure electric is 420 kilometers. Below is an introduction to Volvo-related content: Founder: The founders of Volvo Cars were Gustaf Larson and Assar Gabrielsson. These two individuals borrowed a factory in Gothenburg to assemble prototype cars and obtained authorization on August 10, 1926, officially commencing mass production of new cars. Model: Volvo's first model was the Volvo ÖV4 convertible, which was launched in April 1927. Separation from Parent Company: Volvo Cars officially separated from its parent company SKF in 1935 and began independent operations. Until 1998, it remained under the ownership of Volvo Corporation. Acquisition: In 2010, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group acquired Volvo's car business and established vehicle manufacturing plants in Chengdu and Chongqing, respectively.
I usually pay close attention to the range performance of electric vehicles. The Volvo XC40 Pure Electric has an official claimed range of around 500 kilometers. In actual driving, the range may fluctuate due to driving habits, air conditioning temperature, road conditions, and other factors. For example, aggressive driving on the highway might drop it to just over 400 kilometers, while gentle city driving can get close to 500 kilometers. It uses a large-capacity 79 kWh battery pack, and a 30-minute fast charge can replenish about 80% of the battery. For general household use, charging once a week is usually sufficient. With its Nordic heritage, the range degradation when using the heater in winter is less severe compared to other vehicles, roughly around a 15% reduction. I personally tested this in Northeast China with temperatures below -10°C. When choosing an electric car, consider your commuting distance—this car can reach neighboring provinces on a long trip with just one charging stop in between.
