What do you want to know about Volvo fully electric cars?
How do electric cars work?
Electric cars work by using a battery to store electrical energy that powers an electric motor. This motor converts the energy to propel the car's wheels. Electric cars do not rely on burning fuel to generate power. Instead, they capture and store energy through charging and regenerative braking.
How can I charge my electric car at home?
We recommend a Volvo Cars wallbox. It delivers faster, more efficient charging than a regular wall socket.
Wallboxes have an integrated cable holder and a 5-metre charging cable with a Type 2 socket (IEC 62196), making it compatible with all fully electric Volvo cars.
Have your wallbox installed indoors or outdoors. It's water resistant, and you can purchase a pedestal to install the wallbox where a wall surface isn't available.
Connect to the wallbox via Wi-Fi to see charging status, schedule charging, and more using your smartphone, computer or tablet.
Dynamic LED lighting on the front of the wallbox uses different colours to help you check your charging status at a glance.
How long does it take to charge at home?
Charging times depend on a few factors, including the charging equipment you use, the battery’s initial charge level, and the level you’re after.
We recommend keeping your battery charged above 20 per cent and only charging up to 90 per cent. This can help reduce charging times (0 to 10 per cent and 90 to 100 per cent take the longest) and help protect the battery health.
Enjoy fast, efficient at-home charging with a Volvo Cars wallbox. Install yours indoors or outdoors and use the Volvo Cars app to schedule charging off-peak when energy tariffs can be lower.
How much does it cost to charge a fully electric car at home?
Electric car charging costs vary depending on where you live and when you charge. However, driving a fully electric car can deliver significant savings because electric charging typically costs less than petrol or diesel.
Reduce running costs further by scheduling at-home charging when energy tariffs are lowest.
In some markets, Volvo car drivers can benefit from exclusive discounts at public charging stations. Learn more about charging your Volvo car.
Are there public charging discounts for Volvo drivers?
In many markets, Volvo car drivers enjoy discounts on public charging within partner networks. Learn more about discounted public charging.
Does Volvo Cars have its own charging stations?
Some Volvo Car retailers now feature rapid charging stations. Enjoy discounted charging rates when you choose a Volvo charging station.
How does the car help me to find the nearest charging station?
Use the centre console or the Volvo Cars app to search Google Maps for nearby charging stations. Filter by availability, charger speed, charging network and price. When you’ve selected a destination, you’ll get turn-by-turn navigation.
In some car models, you’ll see the expected charge level on arrival, and your car’s battery will automatically be pre-conditioned. This ensures the battery is at the optimal temperature for efficient charging.
Available where Google Services are available.
Which Volvo electric car has the longest range?
The EX90, our fully electric 7-seater SUV, has the longest electric range of up to 600 km.*
*The figures are preliminary and derive from estimates and calculations performed by Volvo Cars for Volvo EX90 and these outcomes are not guaranteed. The driving range and energy consumption under real conditions vary depending on driving behaviour and other external factors. Charging times can vary and are dependent on factors such as outdoor temperature, battery temperature, charging equipment, battery condition and car condition. Vehicle certification pending.
Is there a warranty for Volvo fully electric car batteries?
When you buy a new fully electric Volvo car, your battery is covered by a warranty for eight years or 160,000km, whichever occurs first, where the car and battery are maintained and operated according to the recommendations of Volvo Cars.
Can the battery be replaced?
The battery and battery modules can be replaced like any other technical part of the car.
How does the battery impact safety in a collision?
The battery adds around 500 kg of weight to our fully electric cars. This changes how a collision would impact the passengers in the car and the other vehicles involved. Batteries must also be protected to avoid harmful leakages after a collision. Utilising a range of innovative safety solutions, engineers at Volvo Cars have designed fully electric cars that meet these challenges.
How much maintenance and service are needed for a fully electric Volvo car?
The electric motors in our fully electric cars are sealed for life. With no moving parts or fluids to refill, they are maintenance-free. That means, compared to a car with a combustion engine, fully electric Volvo cars need much less maintenance.
Is the lifecycle carbon footprint of a full electric Volvo car less than an equivalent internal combustion engine vehicle?
Over the average lifetime of a vehicle, the carbon footprint of a fully electric vehicle (BEV) is less than that of a traditional internal combustion engine vehicle (ICE). However, the distance needed to be driven for a BEV to become less carbon-intensive than an ICE vehicle largely depends on how the electricity that power the vehicle is generated.
If you charge your BEV with renewable electricity, you will need to drive less for that point to be reached, compared with if you use electricity generated from fossil fuels. We encourage you to power your electric vehicle with electricity from renewable sources.
We are committed to full transparency regarding the full carbon impact of our electric vehicles. A lifecycle analysis (LCA) is available for some of our fully electric cars. View the product description page for the fully electric Volvo car you’re interested in to learn more.
How can I know that the car’s battery has been produced in an environmentally and socially responsible way?
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, and tracking carbon emissions.
We also have an audit program covering battery supply chain suppliers. 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.
