Preconditioning the vehicle prior to driving
• “Preconditioning” can be used to cool or warm the vehicle’s interior
prior to driving, while the vehicle is connected to a charger.
• Preconditioning helps to save battery energy that would otherwise
be used to cool or warm your cabin at the start of a drive.
• You can activate Preconditioning, or program it for a desired start time
in “Settings” (see below).
• Adding a Time Setting (can manage up to 8 time settings):
1. Open the climate view in the center display.
2. Select the “Parking” tab.
3. Tap on “Schedule.”
4. Select “Add new timer.”
5. Tap on “Date” to set the time for a single date; tap on “Days” to set
the time for one or more days of the week.
6. Set the time when the preconditioning should be finished by
scrolling through the arrows.
7. Tap on “Confirm”; the time setting is added to the list and activated.

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.
• In vehicles driven by multiple drivers (for whom Driver Profiles
have been set up), it is important to remember to override the “default”
profile, if necessary, prior to driving while the vehicle is stationary.
See your Digital Owner’s Manual for Driver Profiles information.

One-Pedal Drive and Regenerative Braking
Pure Electric Volvos come with a new mode of driving: One-Pedal Drive.
This mode allows the vehicle to recover energy through “regenerative
braking” as the throttle is released and the vehicle decelerates.
• Regenerative braking is an “energy conversion” technology.
When decelerating, kinetic energy that would otherwise be dissipated
as heat from the brakes is, instead, converted into electricity to charge
the vehicle’s high-voltage battery.
• With One-Pedal Drive engaged, the driver can still use the full power
of the mechanical brakes at any time via the brake pedal.

• To turn on or off One-Pedal Drive, click the gear icon on the center
touchscreen > select Driving > tap on the One-Pedal Drive toggle to
engage or disengage.
• One-Pedal Drive should be turned off during open highway driving,
as this will allow the vehicle to coast when the accelerator pedal is
released, thereby preserving kinetic energy. During urban/suburban
driving, the more frequent decelerations will enable the One-Pedal
Drive technology to more effectively recapture energy to recharge
the battery.
• For additional information on One-Pedal Drive, including tips on when
it is most beneficial to use it, consult your Digital Owner’s Manual.

Charging rates and approximate times (individual results may vary)
• The Volvo XC40 Recharge is equipped with a 78kWh battery
• AC (Alternating Current)
- 110V (Level 1; standard wall outlet): up to 1 kW
- 240V (Level 2; typical large-appliance outlet): up to 11 kW
- Ensure that your set vehicle charging rate does not exceed the
amperage of the household circuit being used, to avoid tripping
the circuit breaker.
• DC (Direct Current Fast Charger)
- Up to 150 kW (Level 3; up to 150 times faster than Level 1
wall outlet)
• 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 examples
of conditions that will affect available 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.
