At Volvo, the future is electric. To increase the visibility of this vision, the brand has decided to create a new segment to be on this forefront: the Volvo Recharge range.

Therefore, these vehicles will now be identified using the badge below.
The Volvo Recharge range for 2021
As we put this in writing, Volvo Canada should offer the following Recharge-branded models:
- Volvo XC60 Recharge
- Volvo XC90 Recharge
- Volvo S60 Recharge
- Volvo V60 Recharge
- Volvo XC40 Recharge - 100% electric

During the 2021 model year, there is talk that a new all-electric model named Volvo C40 could make its debut.
