Battery health certificate

When it comes to the performance of electric cars, the battery is one of the most important components. That's why our used electric cars are delivered with a certificate of the health of the high-voltage battery.

What is included in the high-voltage battery's factory warranty?

The high-voltage battery's factory warranty covers the battery's performance and ensures that it retains at least 70% of its original capacity for up to 8 years or 100,000 miles, calculated from the car's first registration date.

What is a battery health certificate for electric cars?

When you buy an approved used electric car from us, a certificate is included that shows the high-voltage battery's State of Health (SOH). The certificate indicates how much of the battery's original capacity is left. A value of 100% SOH means that the battery has the same capacity and therefore the same range as when the car was new.* *Battery health estimates are affected by how the battery has been used in the past and by other external factors. The measurement is expected to be within ±3% SOH for batteries above 90% SOH and within ±5% for batteries below 90% SOH. The value is not a guarantee or forecast of future battery health and all batteries lose capacity over time. The rate of degradation can be affected by many things, including outdoor temperature and charging habits. For tips on how to maintain the health and performance of your battery, see your car's owner's manual. Your battery certificate will come either digitally or in paper form. Contact your Volvo dealer for more information.

How does battery health affect range?

Battery health affects how far the car can go on a charge. For example: If the State of Health (SOH) is 95% and the car had a range of 300 miles (100% SOH) when new, the current range is approximately 285 miles. This is because 5% of the capacity has been lost, which equates to approximately 25 km of reduced range.

How do I know if my battery is working properly?

For your peace of mind, we offer predictive maintenance for our high-voltage batteries. If we see that performance is deteriorating and the battery needs to be replaced, we will contact you to plan and prepare a workshop visit.
