First-time electric vehicle owners are often concerned about the charging experience their prospective model offers. Charging greatly hinders—or enhances—electric vehicle ownership. That's why Volvo spends so much time developing its charging technology and partnering with organizations focused on making a quick charge a certainty for Volvo owners.
Volvo's Breathe Battery Partnership
There's a new start-up in London called Breathe Battery Technologies. Usually shortened to "Breathe" in casual conversation, this company is devoted to shortening the charge times on electric vehicles. That's great news for people who want the freedom to charge up and go on-demand.
The secret behind Breathe's technology is software. With their software-controlled battery technology, the charge times on your Volvo vehicle will be significantly shorter in the future. That means less time charging and more time to hit the road for good times. It also means less worry about stopping at a charging station mid-trip.
Breathe's CEO, Ian Campbell, expresses his excitement about the Volvo partnership by saying, "We're very pleased with this investment and sourcing agreement with Volvo Cars and support their exciting journey toward full electrification." Volvo's current goal is to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040. The partnership with Breathe promises to get them one step closer to electric vehicles that meet all consumer demands and expectations.
Fast charging through software is just one of the many innovations that Volvo is currently committed to bringing their fans. With charging being such a critical part of electric vehicle ownership, this new partnership promises vast improvement over Volvo electric models in the past. And it also achieves another important Volvo goal. A fast-charging electric vehicle is likely to become a staple of American driveways and garages.
Breathe's technology has been tested and shows charging improvements of 15-30%. That's good news for Breathe, Volvo, and Volvo's customers. Volvo is expected to build around this new technology in the future, slowly bringing more electric vehicles to the masses.
