Volvo announced prices for its entire 2024 lineup, including the upgraded C40 and XC40 Recharge EVs. For the first time in 25 years, Volvo will offer a rear-wheel drive variant in the US, among other improvements.
Volvo tackled the two biggest requests with the upgraded C40 and XC40 Recharge electric models – more range and faster charging.
The automaker introduced the 2024 models with newly developed in-house electric powertrain options.
Volvo’s new Single Motor Extended Range C40 Recharge and XC40 Recharge feature a 248 hp electric motor. The 2024 C40 and XC40 Recharge, equipped with an enhanced e-motor and more energy-dense battery, can achieve up to 297 and 293 miles EPA range, respectively.
With the uprated 82 kWh battery pack, charging power has improved with the ability to charge your car from 10%-80% in around 28 minutes (200 kW DC).
The updated Twin Motor AWD variant also gets more range with a new 255 hp electric motor on the rear and 147 hp e-motor on the front axle.
The XC40 Recharge Twin Motor AWD gets up to 254 miles, over 30 miles more than the previous model. Meanwhile, the C40 Recharge Twin Motor has up to 257 miles range, up from 226 miles previously.
Improved exterior design also contributes to better efficiency. New 19″ alloy wheels help reduce drag while improving style.

Volvo has several new all-electric models rolling out. The automaker is launching three new EVs, including a three-row EX90, an entry-level EX30 (see our review), and its first electric minivan, the EM90.
Volvo was one of the first legacy automakers to commit to an all-electric future by 2030. It aims for a 50% EV sales share by 2025 as it works to become an all-electric brand.

The current EV era is ripe with revered classic car designs and iconic nameplates that are being reborn as battery-powered rides – and the success of cars the Renault 5 proves it can be a winning formula. Today, I’m suggesting another 1980s classic that deserves a modern electric update: the Buick Grand National.
As for the “Grand National” part, the timeslip will solve that.
Why it would work
Cadillac CELESTIQ; via GM.
Thanks to the nearly $300,000 Cadillac CELESTIQ ultra-luxury car, we’ve already seen GM put a low-slung sedan body on its EV skateboard. That car uses a pair of electric motors, one on each axle, for a 655 hp all-wheel driving experience capable of launching the big sedan from 0-60 mph in just 3.7 seconds.

Putting those same motors under a shorter, lighter two-door sedan body would put my proposed all-electric Buick Electra at just under 6,000 lbs., and make the new car more than quick enough to earn the Grand National badge with a 3.5-second dash to 60 on its way to an 11.25 (ish) second quarter mile at about 120 mph. As for cost? You could almost name your price, but keeping it just under the Chevy Corvette’s $74,780 base price would make it a winner.
Limit production to 1987 units, make them order-only so dealers can’t ruin the party with obscene markups, and Buick can watch the money roll in … possibly.
You guys are smart, so I’m sure you’ll be able to find all the problems with this particular take – and I can’t wait to hear them! Should it be RWD only? A plug-in hybrid? Scroll on down to the comments and let me know what you think it would take to make a battery-powered Buick GNX revival make sense.

The new pilot program will see 50 new Chevy Brightdrop vans deployed in a collaboration between Target, Circuit EV Solutions, and a last-mile logistics startup called the Frontdoor Collective that relies on its franchise owners to make its deliveries instead of outsourcing that delivery work to independent contract carriers gig workers.
“We’re building the infrastructure backbone that makes high-volume electric delivery possible nationwide,” said Adam Greenberg, CEO at Circuit EV Solutions. “By ensuring fleets have the charging support they need, we’re removing the final barrier to true EV scalability in last-mile logistics.”
Circuit EV Solutions provides the backbone of the highly-visible Target collaboration, delivering the fleet management and charging software to monitors vehicle health, schedule depot charging, and ensure that every Chevy Brightdrop van leaves the hub with an optimally full battery and a fully optimized delivery route, eliminating range anxiety among the vans’ operators.
For independent delivery service providers, that’s a killer combination that can help translate to higher margins and more time back in their busy days to spend with their families – which is something I think we can all get behind.
