EX40
The XC40 you already like — fully electric.
The EX40 keeps everything that made the XC40 a hit and swaps the gas engine for one of the smoothest electric drivetrains Volvo builds. Same footprint, same familiar cabin, but silent and much quicker.
From the low $50,000s
The three things I’ll say about the EX40 first.
Familiar Volvo cabin
Same layout as the XC40 — but quieter, quicker, and with a real frunk for charging cables.
Two ways to buy it
Single motor for range-first buyers, twin motor if you want the 4.7-second 0–60 and true AWD confidence.
Level 2 charging that just works
Charges from 20% to 80% overnight on any standard home Level 2 setup.
Formerly badged XC40 Recharge, the EX40 is available in single-motor extended range or twin-motor AWD. It's the easiest transition to electric for anyone stepping out of a gas Volvo or a compact German SUV.

The numbers, briefly.
“If you love your XC40 but the fuel bill bothers you, this is the trade-in I want you to look at. The single-motor extended range is the one I recommend for most of my Falls Church clients.”

About the EX40.
How's it different from the EX30?+
The EX40 is a little larger, a lot more familiar if you're coming from an XC40, and has more usable cargo. The EX30 is the quicker, more design-forward pick.
Do I need Twin Motor?+
Only if you regularly drive in snow or want the performance. Single motor extended range is more efficient and cheaper.
Tax credits?+
EV credits are moving targets. I'll pull the current-week federal + Virginia summary for you before you sign anything.
