Electricity costs fluctuate across markets and regions, but they consistently remain lower than diesel and petrol prices on a global scale. At the same time, public charging infrastructure is expanding as new providers add stations to their networks.

We're committed to enhancing the charging experience of Volvo drivers by making it more convenient and cost-effective. That includes access to the largest charging networks in Europe, the United States and China and preferential rates.

It's convenient to locate nearby chargers offering exclusive rates for Volvo drivers using the Volvo Cars app.

Yes. In countries where Google Maps includes charging stations, you can search for and select public charging stations directly on the centre display. Use the Volvo Cars app when that’s more convenient.

The EX40 boot has a carrying capacity of up to 578 litres, including the compartment under the load floor. There's a 31-litre space under the bonnet for items you want to keep handy, like charging cables. 

The EX40 can tow up to 1,800 kg.

The electric motor in the EX40 is sealed for life and maintenance-free. That means the fully electric EX40 needs much less maintenance compared to a car with a combustion engine. That may result in lower running costs.

Please contact our fleet sales team at 085-123-1191 to discuss how we can add the EX40 to your fleet.

The Volvo Car Warranty covers the battery for up to 8 years or 150,000 km (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.
