Volvo C40 data analysis
How Volvo C40 EPA electric range varies
Across 4 configurations recorded for the 2022 through 2024 Volvo C40, EPA electric range runs from 226 miles to 297 miles. The strongest figure belongs to the 2024 Volvo C40 (Auto (A1)) at 297 miles, and the weakest to the 2023 car at 226 miles — a spread of 31%. A gap that wide means the model year and configuration you buy matter more than the nameplate does: quoting a single number for the Volvo C40 would be misleading.
What changed for 2024
Average EPA electric range for the 2024 Volvo C40 is 277 miles, against 226 miles for the 2023 car — it rose by 51 miles. That is a real improvement, and it is the kind of change worth paying the newer-year premium for if this figure drives your decision.
How to read this Volvo C40 data
This page lists every 2022 through 2024 Volvo C40 record we hold for this measurement — 4 rows in total, one per configuration and model year rather than a single headline figure. Figures are published as the source agency records them: we do not round, average or interpolate missing years, and a year that is absent from the table is a year with no published measurement rather than a zero. Where a manufacturer offered several drivetrains or body styles in the same year, each appears on its own row, because those variants rarely share the same numbers.
Where these Volvo C40 figures come from
Every value on this page is loaded from federal open data — EPA fuel economy submissions, NHTSA vehicle and crash-test records, and manufacturer specification filings — rather than dealer listings or copied editorial content. The Volvo C40 record refreshes as the agencies publish, which typically means new model-year rows appear in the autumn and crash-test results follow through the model year as vehicles are tested. Because certification data is filed per configuration, treat any single headline number for this vehicle with caution: the figure that applies to a specific car depends on its engine, drivetrain, body style and model year, all of which are listed separately above. If a number here disagrees with a brochure, the brochure is usually quoting the best available configuration rather than the one being sold.
Frequently Asked Questions About C40 EV Range
How far can the Volvo C40 go on a charge?
The Volvo C40 is EPA-rated for up to 297 miles of electric range (2024 model year). Real-world range drops in cold weather, at highway speeds, and with heavy climate control use — plan for roughly 70–80% of the rated figure in winter.
