On paper, the 2022 Volvo C40 Recharge Twin Ultimate seems like a fine compact EV. The dual electric motors (front and rear) that provide the car with all-wheel drive get their juice from a 78 kWh lithium-ion battery, and the system’s output is 402 horsepower and 486 lb-ft of torque. And it looks cool. Herein lies the true problem.
