What we focus on with the electric Volvo C40 Recharge

  • DC fast-charge behaviour. Charging performance and any throttling or errors are checked, because a battery that won't fast-charge cleanly is a red flag.
  • Software and recalls. Stored fault codes and outstanding software or recall items are checked, as EVs depend heavily on their software.
  • Range versus rated. We compare the indicated range and consumption with what the car should deliver to spot a weak pack.
  • Battery state of health. We read the high-voltage battery data to estimate degradation against its original capacity — the single biggest factor in an EV's value.
  • Charging port and onboard charger. The port, cables and AC charging are tested for reliable, fault-free operation.
