With the world changing at a rapid pace, Marshall Volvo are at the forefront of sustainable driving that reduces fossil fuels and emissions.
We know that for some this change can be a little overwhelming so we have put together a little information to help you venture through this electric journey.
By 2025 50% of our new cars will be fully electric.
By 2025 we will have one million electrified Volvo cars on the road.
By 2025, we aim to achieve climate-neutral manufacturing operations.
All of our cars are available with plug-in hybrid technology. Introduction of mild hybrid powertrains – all newly launched Volvos will be electrified, either hybrids or fully electric. Announcement of Volvo Recharge – our ambition for a climate neutral future.
Launch of a complete electrified carline of plug-in hybrids and pure electric cars, starting with our first pure electric SUV – the XC40 Recharge. Our aim is that around 20% of our annual car sales should be plug-in hybrids.
Our ambition is that around 50% of the cars we sell should be pure electric by 2025, the other 50% to be hybrids.
Our vision is to be climate neutral across our full value chain, in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
A pure electric car is powered by a plug-in battery and propelled by electric motors only. Just like with petrol & diesel cars you will still need to fill up, it’s just you will be filling up/charging with electric instead. Charge at home, at a charging station or anywhere with an electric socket!
There are a couple of charging options available such as:
Plug directly into regular 3-pin wall sockets. Useful if you have no home charging point installed.
Comes as standard.
Charges at 2.3kW.
The most common type of electric car charging socket, with charging stations all over the country.
Works with most 3.7kW, 7.kW and 22kW charging stations.
Our Twin Engine plug-in hybrids can be plugged into charging stations up to 22kW through the Type 2 charging cable that you can purchase with it. But their charging speed is limited to 3.7kW. Here is what this means for your 0 – 100% charging times:
Name | Wattage | Time |
3-pin socket | 2.3kW | 5 hours |
Type 2 “Slow” | 3.7kW | 3 hours |
Type 2 “Fast” | 7kW | 3 hours |
Type 2 “Rapid” | 22kW | 3 hours |
Just like plugging in your phone before you go to sleep, charging up your car at night should become a part of your daily routine.
Although the 3-pin socket cable we supply can be plugged straight into your wall, we still recommend getting a professional to install a dedicated charging point at your home. This will give you access to safer and faster charging whenever you need it.
All our plug-in hybrids are eligible for the Government’s Electric Homecharge Scheme, which provides you grant funding of up to £350 or 75% of the cost of installing a charger at home.

The new seven-seater fully electric Volvo EX90 SUV - reaching Volvo's highest level of standard safety ever.
With a Volvo plug-in hybrid you are free to enter ultra low emission zones whenever you like
If you’ve chosen a hybrid for environmental reasons, you can make it an even greener choice by switching your electricity supply to a renewable source (or even installing your own solar panels at home).
Whilst in gear “B”, a Twin Engine will use even more regenerative braking to slow the car down and collect that energy to charge up its hybrid battery.

On the move, different charging providers have different rates and prices. It’s worth researching which is right for you.
When braking or slowing down, the brake energy is transferred back to the battery for a longer range. This also gives you one pedal drive for a smoother and more controlled drive.
No tailpipe carbon dioxide or nitrogen oxide emissions while driving. Nothing but the pure joy of freedom – without the environment having to pay the price.
The pure electric powertrain provides a supremely inspiring, silent and refined drive, with an instant torque for fast take-offs and smooth, linear acceleration at all speeds.
A large battery gives a long range, so you don’t have to charge so often. And when you have to charge the car, it’s designed to make it easy and convenient – you can even do it at home.
The battery of the pure electric XC40 Recharge fully charged gives you a projected range of over 200 miles* at mixed driving before you need to recharge, dependent upon electricity usage and driving style. The C40 has a range of 274 miles.
* Range according to the realistic WLTP and EPA driving cycles under controlled conditions for a new car. Real-world range may vary. Figures are based on preliminary target. Final vehicle certification pending.
The charging time for the pure electric XC40 Recharged depends on the charging equipment you use. But for the most efficient and integrated home charging solution, we recommend the Volvo Cars Wallbox. This powerful 11 kW, 32A installation will give you approximately 5.5 hours charging time (from empty to 80%). When charging at stations outside your home, at a 150 kW DC charging station you can charge the battery from 10 to around 80% in approximately 40 minutes (or around 100 km range in 10 minutes). Just enough time to take a rest and have a meal.
Please note: Charging times will vary and are dependent on factors such as outdoor temperature, current battery temperature, charging equipment, battery condition and car condition.
All battery electric cars undergo the same tests as petrol or diesel cars. In Europe, Euro NCAP has long been the benchmark for car safety. Test have also become even tougher with new demands on, among other things, auto brakes. At Volvo, all cars in the entire model range have received the highest marks in their respective tests. And with the advanced safety technology of the upcoming XC40 Recharge, we introduce one of the world’s safest electric cars.
