How much does it cost to charge a Volvo EX40?

At the U.S. average residential rate (16.9¢/kWh), a full home charge of the Volvo EX40 (79 kWh, ~254 mi range) costs about $14.83 — 5.9¢ per mile. Public DC fast charging at ~43¢/kWh runs about $33.97 per full charge.

How long does it take to charge a Volvo EX40?

On a Level 2 home charger the Volvo EX40 accepts up to 11 kW, so an empty-to-full charge takes about 8.0 hours (roughly 32 miles of range per hour). At a DC fast charger its ~200 kW peak gives a 10–80% charge in about 26 minutes. On a standard 120V outlet (Level 1), a full charge takes around 66 hours.

What home charger do I need for a Volvo EX40?

Any Level 2 (240V) charger works; the Volvo EX40's onboard charger caps AC charging at 11 kW, so a 48A unit on a 60A circuit reaches that limit — a more powerful charger will not charge it faster. The electricity cost is the same at any speed: $14.83 per full charge at the national-average rate.

Volvo EX40 charging speed & home charger

Cost does not depend on speed — a kWh is a kWh — but time does. These estimates use the Volvo EX40's onboard AC limit (11 kW) and its typical DC fast-charging peak (~200 kW); real sessions taper as the battery fills.

~66 h

Level 1 (120V outlet), empty → full

~8.0 h

~32 mi

~26 min

DC fast (~200 kW), 10 → 80%

Home charger sizing: the Volvo EX40 tops out at 11 kW on AC, so a 48-amp charger on a 60-amp circuit reaches its limit — a bigger unit adds nothing. Overnight (8 hours) on Level 2 restores about 253 miles, more than most daily driving. See Level 1 vs Level 2 and how many kWh it takes to charge an EV.
