Volvo C30 Electric Upgraded With More Powerful Electric Motor

Volvo-c30-Electric
Beginning summer 2013, European leasing customers will drive and evaluate an upgraded demo fleet of 100 Volvo C30 electric cars.

The upgraded Volvo C30 electric car feature a new, more powerful motor from Siemens and a new 22 kW on-board flexible fast-charger from BRUSA.

The new Siemens motor in the C30 electric has a peak power output of 89 kW (120 hp) and a torque of 250 Nm, with an acceleration of 0-70 km/h in 5.9 seconds.

The new 22 kW fast-charger is the world’s first on-board charger that operates on a three-phase supply and is small enough to be fitted in an electric car. Using a three-phase outlet, a charge takes 1.5 hours (total range 164 km according to NEDC certification driving cycle). While an ordinary single-phase 230 V household outlet takes 8-10 hours, depending on the available current.

“Adding the innovative fast charging solution will radically improve the time and mileage for the daily usage of the car. This will drastically improve the cost of ownership since the customer will now be able to drive many low cost kilometres per day. A quick 10-minute plug-in adds power for another 20 kilometers of driving,” says Lennart Stegland, Vice President Electric Propulsion Systems, Volvo Car Group.

The upgraded Volvo C30 Electric fleet meets the same high quality and safety standards as all other Volvo cars, including a dynamic driving experience and a comfortable climate, no matter what the temperature. The fuel cost is significantly lower than that for conventional cars, saving up to 2/3 of the cost, depending on fuel prices.
