Volvo Cars is streamlining and standardizing the model names of its electric cars: The Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric will be called the Volvo EX40 in the future, and the Volvo C40 Recharge Pure Electric will become the Volvo EC40 in the 2025 model year. The compact SUV and its crossover counterpart with the coupé-shaped roofline thus fit seamlessly into the expanded all-electric product portfolio of the Swedish premium automobile brand: With the small Volvo EX30, the large Volvo EX90 and the Volvo EM90 van, the company is launching three more electric cars this year.

The consistent expansion of the model range and the uniform nomenclature underline the company's ongoing transformation process: Volvo Cars wants to become a pure electric car provider by 2030. Last year, sales of the all-electric models rose by 70 percent compared to 2022, and their share of total global sales was 16 percent.

In parallel with the renaming of the electric cars, the name suffix ""Recharge"", which previously identified both the purely electric models and those with plug-in hybrid drives, will be dropped. The plug-in hybrids will in future be recognizable by the suffix T6 or T8, which refers to the respective power level of the engine combination. The Volvo XC40 will remain the name for the conventionally powered compact SUV with a combustion engine.
