Volvo is streamlining the naming scheme of its EVs, 'Recharge' is no more

In case some of you found Volvo's naming scheme of some of its vehicles confusing, the company agrees with you. From now on, Volvo's fully electric and plug-in hybrids will no longer have "Recharge" in their names.

The "Recharge" word is swapped out for an "E" prefix, so the XC40 Recharge and C40 Recharge, for example, are now EX40 and EC40. This new nomenclature is in line with the company's existing EV models like the EX30, EX90 and the China-exclusive EM90 multi-purpose minivan.

The PHEVs, on the other hand, adopt the "T6" or "T8" suffix, depending on the total output of the two systems in place.

In semi-related news, Volvo is upgrading its EX40 and EC40 with additional trims. The dual-motor versions now have an optional Performance Software Pack for certain markets, bumping up the total output to 436 hp (36 hp upgrade).
