Summary

The Volvo EC40 P5 (MY27.5) is a 5-seat SUV with rear-wheel drive, not sold in the UK, but on sale from €45,495 in the Netherlands. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 7.3 seconds, slower than 61% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 224 miles (360 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 34% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 170th of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.3 mi/kWh (186 Wh/km), about the same as the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 67 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 100 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 245 miles (394 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.
