Furthering its commitment to sustainability, Volvo announced the new all-electric 2022 Volvo C40 Recharge, a stylish, four-door compact crossover modeled after the popular Volvo XC40 Recharge. However, the new C40 Recharge is shorter, smaller and greener. There is zero leather material used, and the new C40 is designed as an EV only - there will be no gas or hybrid equivalent. Another big difference? The 2022 Volvo C40 will only be sold online. Volvo plans to move more of its sales to an online platform, the C40 Recharge is the first to be offered this way.

After a bold foray into the world of electric vehicles, Volvo is back with the new C40 Recharge. This model offers impressive stats and is something drivers around the Richmond area should be aware of. Here is what we know already about this upcoming model.

Have you ever seen one of those commercials where the announcer is selling something then suddenly sounds like an auctioneer? Once you settle on a monthly payment for your appliances, suddenly that friendly salesperson you dealt with sounds like he's speaking a foreign language? Well, you won't have that problem when you come to sign the lease application at Volvo Cars Walnut Creek, thanks to our Volvo Car Finance Center in Walnut Creek, CA. 

Volvo is a brand that has long been popular among drivers who are concerned about sustainability. If you live in California, such as in the Walnut Creek area, and buy a new plug-in hybrid electric Volvo or a battery-electric Volvo – or a car from another brand that fits these specifications – you may be eligible for the California Clean Fuel Reward program.

Volvo is well on their way to achieving their goal of making 50% the cars they sell electric and 50% hybrid by 2025. Already, Volvo has five Recharge - or plug-in hybrid (PHEV) - options, with their first all-electric vehicle, the Volvo XC40 Recharge, set to debut soon. Currently, Volvo has two SUV plug-in hybrid options, the XC90 Recharge and XC60 Recharge; two sedans, the S90 Recharge and S60 Recharge; and even a wagon/crossover, the Volvo V60 Recharge.
