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?
Explore our at-home charging options for convenient charging.
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 percent and only charging up to 90 percent. This can help reduce charging times (0 to 10 percent and 90 to 100 percent take the longest) and help protect the battery health.
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 may deliver significant savings because electric charging typically costs less than gas or diesel.
Reduce running costs further by scheduling at-home charging when energy costs are lowest.
How does the car help me to find the nearest charging station?
Use the center 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.
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.
Is there a warranty for Volvo fully electric car batteries?
For extra assurance, the battery warranty is extended to 8 years or 100,000 miles (whichever comes first) under the Federal Emissions Warranty (10 years/150,000 miles for CA emission warranty states). During the warranty period, we guarantee 70 percent state-of-health, an indicator of the battery’s energy storage capacity. That means a high level of performance, guaranteed where the car and battery are maintained and operated according to the recommendations of Volvo Cars.
How does the battery impact safety in a collision?
The battery adds around 1,100 lbs 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. Utilizing a range of innovative safety solutions, engineers at Volvo Cars have designed fully electric cars that meet these challenges.
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.
