The electric loader recovers energy in all driving conditions while using the brake function of the electric drive system.
The performance of the Volvo electric excavator and electric loader has been successfully tested on ambient temperatures between -10°C and 40°C.
Our Electric Machine Management Application (‘EMMA’) gives customers remote information on their electric machine/s. Users can keep track of battery level, charging status and machine location all from the convenience of an internet-connected device, helping to take the actions needed to manage the charging process more efficiently and maximize uptime. EMMA is planned to be released beginning of 2022 as a BETA version with a free of charge trial period.
With the optional fast charging device (380V-420V three phase), it takes 1,3 Hours for the L20 Electric and 1,5 hours for the L25 Electric to charge to a level of 80%.
With the standard charger (220V-240V) which comes along with the machines, the L25 Electric takes 9,5 hours and the L20 Electric takes 4 Hours to charge to a level of 80%.
With the optional fast charging device (380V-420V three phase), it takes less than 1 hour for the ECR25 Electric, 1 hour for the ECR18 Electric and 1 hour and 15 minutes for the EC18 Electric to charge from 0% to a level of 80%.
With the standard charger (220V-240V) which comes along with the machines, the ECR25 takes 6 hours to charge to a level of 80%. The ECR18 takes under 5 hours and the EC18 takes about 6 hours to charge to a level of 100%.
When it comes to e-mobility fast charging devices, Volvo currently offers three different fast charger options for the electric product range:
The electric wheel loader and the electric excavator are delivered with an on board charger and the required plugs. With those, the machines can be plugged into a normal household grid or a CEE socket to charge the battery. For the optional fast charger of the electric wheel loader battery or the electric excavator battery, a 3 phase supply is needed.
This is one of the major advantages of the electric construction equipment. Electrical components, batteries and motors, are maintenance free.
The batteries used in our electric construction equipment are designed to last the full life expectancy of the machine.
No, it is not possible to use the electric excavator while charging batteries.
Yes, the batteries for the new electric excavator and wheel loader range, can be charged at any point in time. The lifetime of lithium ion batteries profits when they are not always fully discharged and recharged.
ECR25 Electric, ECR18 Electric, EC18 Electric, L25 Electric and L20 Electric are based on conventional construction equipment design. Only the electric components are new in the vehicles. With its new technology the ECR25 Electric, ECR18 Electric, EC18 Electric, L25 Electric and L20 Electric can deliver similar performance to their diesel versions.
Volvo electric excavators and electric wheel loaders are designed to be used in the same applications as the equivalent diesel machines, like for example demolition, landscaping and utility work.
Furthermore, the electric excavators and electric loaders are even better suited for environments and applications where noise, exhaust emissions or vibrations are a problem today, such as indoor demolition, farming or food processing applications.
In most sites, the lack of engine noise from the electric construction machines is an advantage from a safety perspective as it enables better communication between coworkers on site. Furthermore, a white noise function is offered as an option for Volvo's electric construction equipment, that allows people around the machine to hear without the health issues related to noise.
The batteries cannot be easily stolen as they sit deep within the structure of the machine and it would take several hours to remove them.
