Furthermore, a 150kW DC fast charger can fully charge this Swedish luxury electric SUV from 0% to 80% in just 40 minutes, compared to about 8 hours for a typical 11kW AC charger.
It gains a new Android-based infotainment system with linked car technology, a panoramic sunroof, ADAS, etc. in terms of features. The new Volvo XC40 Recharge will be put together in India at the business’ Hosakote plant in Karnataka, not far from Bengaluru.
