I think the XC40 would be too small, it's comparable to the E-Pace I think and I wish that we'd gone slightly larger for buggies and bags etc. Is the recharge not a PHEV? If so, I'd worry about losing more space to the batteries. I love a Volvo but I would be looking at a XC60 or even a V60.

XC40 Recharge is full EV, it's pretty much Polestar 2 EV tech w XC40 chassis. Volvo PHEV, you have XC90 & XC60 option, but like you said, you might loose a bit of space to the batteries.
