Hmmm, I have a Volvo EV. Not heard from Volvo about any issues or precautions.

Just checked, it seems to be limited to the EX30, 2024 onwards. My car is the C40, 2022.

Their recommendation has always been charge to 90% to help preserve the battery unless going on a long journey. I’ll just continue doing that until told otherwise.

Car manufacturer Volvo has recalled 10,000 of its electric cars due to a fire risk from the batteries. Owners tell us despite months of complaints they’ve been given no clear fix, repair timeline or replacement option.
