Since 2018, Volvo has been investing in small companies developing technology that it thinks could be useful to its vehicles. Now, it says that one of those companies has developed software that can reduce battery charging times (from 10-80 percent) by between 15 and 30 percent.<\/p>\n

The UK-based company is called Breathe Battery Technologies, and it uses algorithms to manage the charging process. Whereas EVs traditionally<\/a> keep their batteries safe with a stepped charging program that uses pre-determined rules, Breathe’s technology can dynamically control the energy flow in real time.<\/p>\n

“The investment and commercial partnership with Breathe helps us address a familiar pain point for electric car customers and makes our charging performance even more competitive,” says Ann-Sofie Ekberg, CEO of the Volvo Cars<\/a> Tech Fund. “Faster charging times, in the range where customers typically fast charge, represent a major step in the right direction as we continue to boost electric mobility and make it available to more people.”<\/p>\n
