The Volvo C30 Electric has been tested on the snows of northern Sweden, where temperatures of 20 degrees below zero have not scratched the performance of the electric motor both in terms of power both in terms of its ability to keep charging even in extreme conditions . The requirements that this zero-emission, in fact, they are the ones who must have the petrol models of the House.
For this reason, the car has been subjected to over 200 tests. "We must ensure that it behaves as expected while driving, parking and charging them with different conditions such as extreme heat and cold," said Lennart Stegland, head of Special Vehicles at Volvo. Swedish tradition of a car that could not be at the forefront of heating: Electric, the C30 is equipped as a system that allows real give an adequate temperature in the cockpit without compromising battery life.
Everything is in fact controlled by a small heater on ethanol, contained in a tank of 14.5 liters, which can not absorb energy from the batteries, in order to "concentrate" on the power supply driving the vehicle, thereby increasing the radius d ' action. However, whoever is behind the wheel can also choose to use battery power to provide air conditioning and therefore decreases autonomy.
