What do you want to know about pure electric cars?
What charging times can I expect when charging an electric car at home?
The charging time depends on the charging equipment you use and the electric installation at your home. The standard home charging cable, which comes with the vehicle, can be directly plugged into your pure electric car and then into your at home 220V power point. Charging an empty battery to 100 per cent with this cable takes approximately 38-44 hours* depending on the amps. This charging type is best suited for overnight charging to top up a pure electric, but may not be practical for regularly charging a pure electric. For regular and considerably shorter charging times at home, we recommend purchasing and installing a 3-phase 11 kW wallbox, supplied by third parties. This installation can give you approximately 7-9 hours* charging time (from empty to 100 per cent). Your local Volvo retailer can assist.
* Charging times can vary and are dependent on factors such as outdoor temperature, current battery temperature, charging equipment, battery condition and car condition.
How much does it cost to charge the battery of a pure electric car?
The cost for electricity varies depending on local conditions, but the cost can be lower compared to petrol or diesel. To learn more about charging your Volvo, visit here.
What warranty does Volvo Cars have on the battery?
The Volvo Cars Warranty for the battery is 8 years or 160,000km, whichever occurs first, provided that the car and battery are maintained and used in accordance with Volvo Cars’ recommendations.
Can the battery be replaced?
If the battery or a battery module needs to be replaced, this can be done just like any other technical part of the car.
What equipment do I need to charge my pure electric car easily and safely at home?
The standard-fitted home charging cable is primarily designed as an auxiliary cable for household applications. For considerably faster and more convenient charging at home, we recommend installing a 3-phase 11 kW wallbox.
Please note: the availability of charging equipment may vary depending on market.
Which is the fastest way to charge my pure electric car on long journeys?
You will find the fastest charging at a DC fast-charging station along the route. To charge as fast as possible, we recommend you to limit the car's charging level to 80 per cent. This helps keep your charging times short because the last 20 per cent of charging takes the longest time.
How does the car help me to find the nearest charging station?
You can use Google Maps* in your Volvo to locate public charging stations direct from the map in the car’s centre display. This is particularly useful on longer trips and can help you plan and enjoy a less stressful journey. For hands-free help in the car, you can use Google Assistant* simply say, “Hey Google, find the nearest charging station” to get started.

How does the battery impact safety in a collision?
The battery means there is 500 kg of extra weight that needs to be addressed in an impact – for the car’s occupants as well as for other vehicles. The battery also needs separate protection to avoid harmful leakage after a collision. By utilising a range of innovative safety solutions, Volvo Cars’ safety engineers have designed our pure electric cars to meet all these challenges.
Is the lifecycle carbon footprint of a full electric Volvo car less than an equivalent internal combustion engine vehicle?
We are committed to full transparency when it comes to the full carbon impact of our electric vehicles. A lifecycle analysis (LCA) of the XC40 Recharge is already available and the lifecycle analysis of the C40 Recharge will be available later in 2022.
How can I know that the car’s battery has been produced in an environmentally and socially responsible way?
Volvo Cars is committed to full traceability, helping to ensure that our customers can drive electrified Volvos knowing the raw material for the batteries has been sourced responsibly. The introduction of blockchain technology significantly boosts traceability within our cobalt supply chain. Blockchain, in conjunction with inspection on mine sites, GPS tracking, entry and exit scanning, verified logistics providers, facial recognition, ID checks, and time tracking, all contribute to a material’s traceability from a mine to the car factory.
Volvo Cars works closely with our suppliers to increase the sustainability of our products and services, including through securing responsible supply chains and making efficient use of resources. We are committed to the responsible sourcing of minerals and metals, and fully support the OECD Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-affected and High-risk Areas. In this respect, we require our battery suppliers to support our commitment to have full transparency of our cobalt supply chain and to work towards full traceability.
Sustainability performance is a key consideration when assessing and selecting our suppliers. We monitor the performance of existing suppliers and follow up with third party audits. We also put requirements on our battery suppliers to minimise carbon emissions during the production processes, including through the use of renewable energy. All our suppliers have to agree to the Volvo Cars' Code of Conduct for Business Partners, which includes the observation of human rights, including labour rights.
