The EC40 uses an all-wheel drive system (eAWD), combined with a 78 kWh lithium-ion battery, allowing the vehicle to travel up to 510km according to WLTP testing standards after each full charge.

The EC40's charging system supports DC fast charging up to 150 kW, allowing for a 0-80% charge in 33 minutes. 3-phase AC charging (16A) will take around 8 hours to reach 100%. However, Volvo recommends charging only up to 90% to prolong battery life.
