Volvo EV Portfolio
Volvo is an EV brand owned by Geely and made in Sweden. This model portfolio showcases the shift toward zero-emission mobility.
Vehicles are organized by model family. A model family is an OEM-defined product program sharing a common platform, architecture, and market positioning, from which multiple body styles, variants, and trims are derived.

Volvo EV Technology
Platform: Shared, 400V-dominantE/E Architecture: Modern
OTA Capability: Baseline
Battery Suppliers: CATL, LG Chem
Power Inverter Tech: SiC-based
Platform = level of vehicle platform maturity or advancement, and its dominant system voltage.
Shared = ICE-derived | Dedicated = EV-native platform | SDV-Native = future-proof
E/E Architecture: degree of integration and maturity of the vehicle’s electronic/electric control systems (from Baseline legacy wiring to Advanced domain/zonal designs).
Baseline = Distributed ECUs | Modern = Domain-based | SDV-Native = Zonal-based with central compute
OTA Capability = scope of Over-The-Air updates supported — from Baseline basic infotainment to Advanced control and systems firmware.
Baseline = Infotainment/maps | Limited = Infotainment+ | Partial = Multiple systems | Advanced = Most systems | Full = Full-vehicle updateable
Battery Suppliers = primary traction battery suppliers across the model lineup.
Power Inverter Tech = power electronics technology used (silicon carbide SiC vs silicon), which affects efficiency and thermal performance.
IGBT = Conventional | SiC = High-efficiency | GaN = Next-generation, pilots
About Volvo
Volvo Cars is a Swedish premium automaker headquartered in Gothenburg, long recognized for its leadership in safety, design, and engineering excellence. Founded in 1927 and now majority-owned by China's Geely Holding Group, Volvo is pioneering a complete transformation toward electrification, autonomy, and sustainability. The company has committed to becoming a fully electric car manufacturer by 2030 and achieving climate neutrality across its value chain by 2040, positioning itself among the most forward-looking automakers in the global EV transition.
Volvo's electrification journey began with its Recharge lineup of plug-in hybrids and accelerated rapidly with the launch of its first fully electric model, the XC40 Recharge, followed by the sleek C40 Recharge fastback. Building on these successes, Volvo introduced its next-generation EVs—the EX90 SUV and the compact EX30—both of which use advanced electric architectures designed for high efficiency, safety, and software-driven performance. The EX90 serves as the technological flagship, featuring lidar-based perception, NVIDIA DRIVE AI computing, and continuous over-the-air updates. The EX30, by contrast, demonstrates Volvo's ability to deliver Scandinavian design and premium quality in a compact, affordable format.
Volvo's electric vehicle platforms are developed in close collaboration with Geely and Polestar, utilizing the SEA (Sustainable Experience Architecture) and SPA2 (Scalable Product Architecture) systems. These modular platforms enable flexible vehicle design, long-range performance, and rapid software iteration. The company is also investing in next-generation battery chemistry and in-house software development to achieve deeper control over energy management, safety systems, and autonomous driving features. Its partnership with Northvolt has resulted in the establishment of a joint battery R&D center and a gigafactory in Gothenburg to secure future battery supply using renewable energy and recycled materials.
In parallel with product development, Volvo is reimagining its business model through direct online sales, digital customer interfaces, and connected ownership experiences. Its in-car infotainment systems are powered by Google's Android Automotive OS, integrating Google Maps, Assistant, and Play Store natively. Volvo's commitment to sustainability extends beyond electrification to include circular production, renewable materials, and full life-cycle carbon accounting for every model. By combining Scandinavian minimalism, world-leading safety technology, and responsible innovation, Volvo is redefining modern luxury for the electric age and setting new global standards for ethical and intelligent mobility.
