Range and Charging
How far can the 2026 Volvo EX40 go on a full charge?
The Single Motor Extended Range trim delivers 296 miles of range on a full charge. The Twin Motor trim uses the same 82.0 kWh battery but produces more power, which brings its range to 260 miles. For daily commutes around Savannah or longer drives to Atlanta or Charleston, both figures cover most real-world trips without stopping to charge. EPA EV range methodology
