Introducing Volvo Recharge – our new line of advanced pure electric and plug-in hybrid cars, designed to give you a refined and more sustainable driving experience. The cars you trust to protect your family, now also help protect their future.
Every new Volvo car launched will be electrified.
Today, Volvo are the only traditional car maker to offer plug-in hybrid options on all models. And over the next five years, they will launch five new fully electric cars. It is their ambition that by 2025, half of the cars we sell will be electric.
Mild Hybrids
• What is mild hybrid?
A traditional combustion engine supported by a small electric motor.
• How are they charged?
Through energy recovered from regenerative braking, so you don’t have to plug them in.
• Can they run solely on electric power?
No, the electric motor provides support to improve the engine’s efficiency.
• What models are available?
The line-up consists of three models: XC60 B4 mild hybrid, XC60 B5 mild hybrid and XC90 B5 mild hybrid.
Plug-in Hybrid
• What is a plug-in hybrid?
A traditional combustion engine combined with a battery-powered electric motor.

Yes, for short journeys of up to 30 miles, dependent on the model.
• What models are available?
Every model in the Volvo range is available as a plug-in hybrid.
Pure Electric
