The short version
The 2026 Volvo EC40 goes 298 miles on a charge, sips electricity at 106 MPGe. Here's what the EPA numbers actually mean.
Pricing
We haven't confirmed pricing for the 2026 Volvo EC40 yet, so there's no number here. We'd rather show a blank than a guess.
Range and efficiency
EPA-tested at 298 miles of range and 106 MPGe combined. That's the lab number every car takes, so it's the fairest comparison there is. In the real world, knock off 10–20% for highway speed and cold weather. Cheaper trims with smaller wheels actually go farther — the lineup stretches from 268 to 298 miles.
Charging and fuel cost
At the U.S. average of $0.17 per kWh, 12,000 miles a year costs about $647 in electricity — roughly $54 a month. That's the whole fuel story; there are no oil changes either. Plug in your own rates in the fuel cost calculator.
Fast charging
On a DC fast charger it peaks at 205 kW (Twin Motor max per Volvo MY26 tech details; single-motor variants lower) — enough to add serious miles in the time it takes to grab coffee. Figures are manufacturer ratings for the best trim; real-world peaks vary with battery temperature and state of charge.
