VOLVO C40 RECHARGE PURE ELECTRIC 2022 Digital Guide

11
Electrify America’s collaboration with Volvo Cars USA adds a growing
network of more than 635 public DC fast charging stations around the
country. It is the largest open DC fast-charging network in the U.S.,
and greatly expands the availability of fast charging locations for owners
of Volvo electrified vehicles. Along with ChargePoint, Volvo drivers now
have easy access to over 90% of the open charging network.
All Pure Electric Volvo vehicles for the 2022 model year come with
250 kWh of complimentary charging on the Electrify America network,
to be used within the first three years. After 3 years of ownership,
customers are eligible for Electrify America’s Pass+ program, where
drivers can charge at discounted rates. The Pass+ membership fee will
be covered by Volvo Cars USA for one year.

Charging Speed
Charging speed can be set in your center display. To adjust the charging
amp limit, click the gear icon on the center touchscreen
> select Charging > press the plus or minus sign to change
the amperage limit for charging.
Set it to 48 amps for best charging speed, if it’s not already. This will
ensure the fastest charging with all types of chargers. If you plug it into
a lower amperage circuit, e.g., a 110V 15-amps, the car will lower the
charging speed based on the amperage available.
You can view the car’s charging speed in the instrument cluster, when
parked and plugged in.

Charging Rates and Approximate Times
Volvo’s Pure Electric vehicles (XC40 Recharge and C40 Recharge)
are equipped with 78kWh batteries
Approximate charging times*
• Level 2 – 10% to 80% ≈ 6 hours
• 150 kW DC Fast Charger – 10% to 80% ≈ 40 minutes
* Volvo recommends charging to 90% for everyday use for longer battery life.
For longer trips, charge to 100%.
Ambient temperature extremes (cold and hot), driving styles, routes,
terrain, vehicle speed and vehicle load are some of the conditions
that will affect vehicle range.
Electrification Terms and Their Meanings
• Volt is electrical “pressure” and Amp(ere) is electrical “flow.” The
“garden hose” analogy: Turning up the pressure (volt) moves more
water, and having a larger diameter hose (amp) flows more water.
In this analogy, water is equivalent to power.
• kWh – Kilowatt-Hours: amount of energy stored (comparative to
a tank of gas).
• kW – Kilowatt: amount of electricity needed to “fill up” the battery
via charger (AC or DC).
• 1kW = 1.34 horsepower (e.g., XC40 Recharge’s combined
300 kW = 402 horsepower).
• AC – Alternating Current (typical household outlets, Level 1 or 2,
including some charging stations) converts electric power to direct
current (DC) via an On-board Charger (OBC).
• DC – Direct Current (built-in converter, Level 3 charging stations)
feeds power directly to the car’s battery.

Starting and Driving
Your Pure Electric Volvo is always ready to go, so there is no start/stop button.
• To start the vehicle, sit in the driver’s seat, put on your seatbelt, place
your foot on the brake, and select Drive.
• To stop, simply put the vehicle in Park and exit – it will automatically
turn off.
• Prior to driving vehicles operated by multiple drivers (for whom Driver
Profiles have been set up), while the vehicle is stationary remember
to override the “default” profile, if necessary.
See your Digital Owner’s Manual for Driver Profiles information.

The Volvo Cars app
• Lock or unlock
• Door status
• Window Status
• Remote Start (may not be available on all models)
• Pre-Conditioning Recharge vehicles Heating or Cooling
(The app will default to 72°)
• Set climate Timer (For T8 Plug-In Hybrid Drivers)
For T8 Plug-in Hybrid and Pure Electric vehicles only:
• State of charge
• Fuel and battery level
• If you are actively charging, the estimated time
of completion will display under the battery level.

One-Pedal Drive and Regenerative Braking
One Pedal Drive gives seamless control of both acceleration and
deceleration with just the accelerator pedal. When braking, the kinetic
energy that otherwise would have become heat energy is regenerated
into electric energy and fed back to the battery. This saves energy
and helps optimize the car’s range.
Two levels: On and Off.
“ON” is the default setting. Just lifting the accelerator pedal can slow
the car all the way to standstill, not using the brake pedal. It can even
hold the car on steep hills. One-Pedal Drive is recommended in city
driving to help optimize range.
“OFF” means less regeneration when lifting the accelerator, and feels
more like in a combustion engine powered car. This allows full benefit
from the car’s rolling kinetic energy when driving at highway speeds.
Independent of this, the car will always provide brake energy
regeneration when pressing the brake pedal.

Hands-Free, Foot-Activated Tailgate
Both hands full? You can open or close the tailgate with a single foot
kick movement under the rear bumper.
Pro tip: Aim for the center left parking sensor or the first “V” of the
“Volvo” lettering for best results.
The ‘kick’ should be smooth during the inward and outward motion –
no waving or holding your foot in place as this won’t activate the sensor
to open /close the tailgate.
Immediately after the kick, take a step back to ensure that the tailgate
will open or close.
