2025 Volvo XC40 and C40 Recharge electric cars get renamed to EX40 and EC40 for update as Swedish brand stays on target to be fully EV in Australia by 2026

AutoExec Summary
Volvo is staying true to its commitment to electric cars, renaming its small-sized XC40 Recharge wagon and C40 Recharge coupe models to EX40 and EC40. The company plans to sell only fully electric cars globally by 2030, making the need to differentiate from internal-combustion cars unnecessary. This move reflects the company’s transformation into a fully electric car manufacturer. Volvo aims to be the first brand in Australia to fully convert from a combustion automaker to fully electric, with a local deadline of 2026.
