Labelled a manifesto for Volvo Cars’ future, the pure electric Concept Recharge does much more than showcase the company’s future design language and product strategy.

The Volvo ReCharge Concept is a plug-in hybrid with an electric motor at each wheel and batteries that are recharged every day via a household electric power socket. This gives the driver about 100 kilometres on electric power alone. When necessary, the car's four-cylinder combustion engine is activated to recharge the batteries on the move.

Volvo Car Corporation has joined forces with three other Sweden-based companies and the Swedish government to launch a broad-based research and development venture in the area of plug-in hybrid vehicles.

The Volvo ReCharge Concept is a plug-in hybrid with individual electric wheel motors and batteries that can be recharged with a household electrical outlet for maximum environmental benefit.
