C40 Recharge Pure Electric

A fully charged battery gives you a projected range in excess of 200 miles* * in mixed driving before you need to recharge. But your real-world range is also affected by your driving style and other circumstances, such as outdoor temperature, weather, wind, topography and road condition. Other factors that impact range include how much electricity you use for car functions such as heating and cooling of the car, utilization of the one pedal drive feature. * (Range is a calculated EPA preliminary rating based on the preliminary WLTP rating of 200+ mi Range is calculated according to the realistic WLTP and EPA driving cycles under controlled conditions for a new vehicle.

The C40 Recharge is perfectly suited for comfortable long-distance driving. And the battery’s projected range in excess of 200 miles**helps you do so without worrying about range. If you need to charge during the journey, you can do so at an AC charging station or DC fast-charging station. At a 150 kW DC fast charging station, it’s possible to charge the battery from zero to 80 per cent in approximately 40 minutes (or around 80-100 km range in 10 minutes) – just enough time to rest or have a meal during the trip.

You will find the fastest charging at a DC fast-charging station along the route. To charge as fast as possible, we recommend limiting the car's charging level to 80 per cent. This helps keep your charging times short because the last 20 per cent of charging takes the longest time. So, charging the battery from zero to 80 per cent with a 150kW DC fast charger takes only around 40 minutes. But if needed to reach your destination or the next charging station, you can choose to charge the battery up to 100 per cent using the settings in the car’s centre display.

The charging time depends on the charging equipment you use and the electric installation at your home. For regular charging at home. We recommend a Level 2 home charger with 50 amps of power from a dedicated single phase 240-volt circuit with a two-pole circuit breaker rated at minimum of 70 amps (or 60 amp circuit with max load of 48 amps) This installation can give you approximately 8 hours charging time (from empty to 100 per cent), or around 25 miles of range per hour. When charging at stations outside your home, the most probable situations are that you will top the battery during shorter periods of time, for example from 40 per cent to 80 per cent (11 kW AC gives around 25 miles of range per hour). And on longer trips, you may charge the car using fast-charging DC stations. At a 150 kW DC charging station, you can charge the battery from zero to around 80 per cent in approximately 40 minutes (or around 50-60 miles of range in 10 minutes). Just enough time to take a rest and have a meal. The standard home charging cable with two household connectors is a dual mode level 2 charging cable approximately 14 feet in length (4.5 meters) capable of 240-volt and 40-amps of charging. The charging of the car is monitored by two-way communication between the car and the control box. When the cable is connected to the car, self-test diagnostics are performed to ensure that the cable is properly connected and that the car is ready to receive power before charging starts. The control box is integrated in the charging cable and plugged into an ordinary power socket. The cable is supplied with an adapter to enable Level 1 and Level 2 charging. Level 1 charging adaptor fits the common 120-volt 3 prong wall outlet (NEMA 5-15R) with 12 amps of current. These outlets do not carry sufficient current to deliver appropriate levels of rate of charge and are intended to “top off” the charge when travelling visiting friends or relatives. Charging an empty battery to 100 per cent with this cable takes in excess of 50-72 hours, at a charge rate of about 1.4 kW or 5 miles of range per hour.
Please note: Charging times will vary and are dependent on factors such as electrical capacity of location, outdoor temperature, current battery temperature, charging equipment, battery condition and car condition.

The standard home charging cable with two household connectors is a dual mode level 2 charging cable approximately 14 feet in length (4.5 meters) capable of 240-volt and 40-amps of charging. When connected to a properly installed 50 amp NEMA 14-50 plug wired to an electrical panel that supports a 240-volt dedicated circuit with non-GFCI two-pole circuit breakers. For considerably faster and more convenient charging at home, we recommend installing a 240-volt single -phase 11 kW home charger.

The cost for electricity varies depending on local conditions, but the cost can be lower compared to petrol. The lowered fuel cost is also one of several reasons to switch to an electric car. And for even lower costs, you will be able to set your full electric C40 Recharge to charge during off-peak times when the electricity costs are the lowest, often at night.
