Summary

The Volvo EX40 Single Motor ER (MY25) is a 5-seat SUV with rear-wheel drive, sold new from 2024 to 2025, when it cost £47,705 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 7.3 seconds, slower than 61% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 249 miles (400 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 46% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 131st of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.1 mi/kWh (198 Wh/km), less efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 79 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 110 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 271 miles (436 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Second-hand, a 2024 example is estimated at £22,700–£25,500 and a 2025 one at £27,200–£31,000, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2024 car should still manage about 239 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
