    It only has like 230 mile range. That’s very low compared to other electric cars in the 60k price range

      That’s true, but I will have it in a garage so this really only impacts me for road trips. But the range is a bit limited compared to competitors

    • My partner and I just bought the XC40 and When deciding between the EV and the gas, we decided to go with the gas version because of the really low charge range and the price point. But otherwise we really liked the recharge and will probably upgrade to it in a few years.

  • The EVs sold under Volvo right now are compliance cars - not meant to be class competitive. You might get a good lease deal on one for that reason. Don't bother otherwise.

    • Because it's a separate brand, Polestar's sales don't count towards state level ZEV targets for Volvo anymore.

      The Volvo has worse range at a higher price than the 2 despite all the cars share. Absolutely bizarre.

      That’s just due to design of an SUV / Crossover being less aerodynamic right?

      How I see it, the XC40 recharge is a repackaged polestar, with all the options, but at the expense of range in favor of a compact SUV frame
