A new application dedicated to the model Volvo XC40 Recharge will allow to increase the electric range of the car, optimizing the performance of the electric battery. This specific update will come to Volvo with the over-the-air system and will be called Range Assistant.
The ‘electronic’ assistant will therefore improve battery management and performance to recharge it, and as promised by Volvo, this it will significantly increase the range of the car. According to the German company, which today is owned by the Chinese group Geely, the update will be “particularly useful”On long journeys, because it will help reduce stops for recharging.
Obviously, any type of improvement capable of increasing the autonomy of an electric vehicle is well received both by those who already drive a battery car, and by the undecided who have not yet taken the ‘new’ road made of refills on tap instead of petrol stations. . Volvo, however, has not only thought about the range assistant; among the next updates will come a real-time display showing energy consumption, an interface capable of showing the effect of temperature on battery usage and a system for automatically adjusting the air conditioning in relation to the type of trip.
According to Autocar reports, Sanela Ibrovic, head of Volvo’s connectivity department, said: “Through our in-house development and over-the-air upgrades, all Volvo-branded cars get better over time. The latest news to increase battery life is a great example of how rapid development and installation can improve the customer experience“. Volvo explained that the new application will be put ‘online’ for owners of the XC40 Recharge, just in time for the winter season.
Optimal autonomy management is a fundamental issue for the development of the electric car, and it is increasingly necessary that the same manufacturers are able, with customer assistance, to provide motorists with all the information necessary to adapt the driving style to a product to be approached differently from the endothermic past.
