Explore Our Fully Electric Range
Everything you love about driving. Zero tailpipe emissions.
Elevated Electric Driving
We've looked over the horizon to develop a range of cars that elevate electrification. Instead of simply adapting what's come before, we design and engineer electric cars that deliver a new way to enjoy life on the road.
Singular Electric Exteriors
Volvo electric car exteriors take our signature Scandinavian design style in a striking direction. Exteriors are bold and contemporary with sleek colour-coordinated shields and aerodynamically optimised wheels and wing mirrors for improved efficiency.
Renewable & Recycled Materials
The upholsteries and décor featured in our electric car interiors apply renewable and recycled materials in elegant new ways. Transformed into premium materials, they enrich the minimalistic interior architecture of our luxury cabins.
Charge in Harmony with Your Life
Make electric driving easier with our variety of no-hassle charging options. At home, at work, at your gym or at your favourite supermarket. Get ready to revolutionise the way you drive and own a car. With significant advances in electric charging technology, switching from petrol-powered cars to electric cars has never been easier.Create an Electric Car Charging Routine
It’s easy to create charging routines that reflect your lifestyle and circumstances, regardless of where the day or night takes you and however, you live. At home, most people plug their cars in overnight during off-peak hours to take advantage of lower electricity rates and wake up with a fully charged battery each morning. And with the Volvo Cars app, you’ll easily find charging points near you if you need to top up your battery during the day.
Costs of Charging a Volvo Electric Car at Home
The cost of charging an electric car is, for many, a smarter long-term choice than alternative fuels such as petrol and diesel.
On the Road?
Use an Electric Car Charging Point
You’ll have access to numerous public charging stations when driving an electric Volvo car. This means you can enjoy your electric driving experience without worrying about running out of charge. And by using the Volvo Cars app, you can receive charging reminders and get guided navigation to the nearest charging station. These charging stations allow you to quickly and easily top up your battery while on the go – perfect for those long road trips or days when you need more power than what one full charge can provide.
Maximise Your Electric Driving Range
Depending on which electric Volvo car you drive, you can go different distances.

How to Maximize Your Electric Car Range
Speed & Driving Style
Just like a combustion vehicle, a more economical driving style will help to increase the range of an electric car. Driving at higher speeds requires more energy, therefore, a smooth driving style at reduced speeds will help to improve overall range. All electric Volvos include the ‘Range Assistant’ app, a useful tool to check energy consumption and to help develop a more efficient driving style.
Temperature Inside & Out
The range of an electric car can be reduced in cold temperatures, as the battery works less efficiently. And an electrical heater uses a lot of energy to warm the cabin. To help preserve your electric range in colder temperatures, pre-heat your Volvo remotely via the Volvo App, whilst connected to your wallbox before starting your journey. So that you use the mains, instead of the car battery, to heat the car. And during your journey, the heated seats and steering wheel use much less electrical energy than the heater.
One Pedal Drive
Also known as ‘regenerative braking’, all fully electric Volvos come with one pedal drive as standard. This allows the user to slow down the car when they release the accelerator pedal, acting like a brake (don’t worry, you still get a brake pedal). In doing so, the electric motor within the car performs like an electric generator, helping to recharge the battery every time you slow down.
