The Volvo Car Warranty covers the battery for up to eight years or 160,000km (whichever occurs first), provided the car and battery are maintained and used in accordance with Volvo Cars’ recommendations.

Volvo Cars maintains a strong focus on the battery raw material supply chain to enable responsible sourcing. In 2019, we launched blockchain to enable traceability from the mine to the car of the cobalt used in our batteries. Since then, the scope has widened to include nickel, lithium, mica, graphite and tracking carbon emissions.

We also have an audit program covering the suppliers in the battery supply chain. The aim of the program is to ensure that suppliers at all tiers in our cobalt, lithium, nickel, mica and graphite supply chains are conformant with relevant standards and frameworks and to ensure continuous improvement of ESG (environmental, social, governance) performance across our battery supply chain. The audits are conducted against the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-affected and High-risk Areas and the IRMA Standard for Responsible Mining Critical Requirements or equivalent schemes for mines.

Sustainability performance is a key consideration when assessing and selecting our suppliers. We continuously monitor the performance of our existing suppliers and work with them to improve the sustainability performance of our products and services.

Intelligent Speed Assist is a safety-enhancing system required by law within Europe, and Volvo Cars' solution is designed to be as smooth as possible for the driver. The purpose is to help the driver avoid unintentional speeding, for example, when entering new speed zones or when speed limits differ depending on the time of day or road conditions. The system continuously reads speed limit signs together with map data.

If you, as a driver, exceed a legal speed limit, you can be notified by an audible and visible signal. You can also set the system to automatically slow down the car if you drive too fast. The Intelligent Speed Assist is on by default every time you start the car and activates automatically at speeds over 20 km/h. It's possible to deactivate the function while driving.

Please note: The driver is always responsible for how the car is controlled; this is only a supportive function.
