Features and benefits for EC230 Electric
Clean and comfortable
Experience a better place to work, both in-cab and on site, due to the significant reduction in noise, dust, vibration and heat. The EC230 Electric is a more responsive machine and being electric means an absence of exhaust fumes. These factors are helping operators and site workers to remain alert and productive throughout the working day.
At home in the city
The noise levels offered by the EC230 Electric enable work anytime, anywhere – even at night in populated areas. It also makes the work environment more pleasant for you and your colleagues, with whom you can now communicate clearly during work, so that they can guide you while maintaining a safe working distance from the machine.
A sustainable solution
Our industry needs to adapt to a more sustainable way of working and it cannot happen fast enough. With the EC230 Electric we are fulfilling market appetite for more sustainable solutions and providing a solution ready to fit into your work site today. The EC230 Electric is delivering the same performance but with the upside of doing so emission free.
A green customer case
Volvo CE is working with partners including the Danish Technology Institute and civil engineering and construction firm, Per Aarsleff A/S in a pioneering initiative to test out sustainable construction solutions in a real-life environment. Insights gained through the initiative are helping build knowledge and a better understanding of how these solutions can be implemented at scale in the future. For the benefit of the entire construction industry. https://youtu.be/kOu3r5Yd4GY
Electric is smart business
A move to an electric machine can reduce energy-related costs thanks to the more cost-effective nature of electricity as a power source compared to fuel. What’s more, the electric motor is around 99% efficient and no energy is used when the machine is not moving and working, saving on energy consumption and wear.
New business horizons
Open up new opportunities for your business with a low noise and zero-tailpipe emissions machine. Noise sensitive areas, indoors, low carbon zones, unsociable hours – these are all places an electric machine can work, where a diesel alternative cannot.
Serviceability
Lower your maintenance costs and give uptime a boost with the maintenance-free electric motor, and absence of any engine-related components.
Get the complete solution
No need to refuel and boasting outstanding levels of operator comfort, lower maintenance costs compared to a diesel alternative – this is a machine designed to have an electric impact on your bottom line. Customers can get the same productivity or even better than with the EC220.
Flexibility with standard connector
The EC230 Electric is equipped with CCS2 connector which is a standard connector in most of the European countries. Therefore you can connect this unit pretty much everywhere. It gives you the flexibility to use the EC230 Electric anywhere and use all available chargers on the market. The EC230 Electric is delivered with a charging cable with the power level of 22 kW, which enables battery charging via a CEE socket.
Proven Volvo technology
The EC230 Electric uses the same battery and motor as trucks. We are not trying a new solution, we are using tried and tested technology that already exists in the Volvo group. The trucks have been using the battery and motor for many years, proving them to be strong and reliable. At Volvo we think about the entire solution and are therefore not only providing the machine but also the charger and the container/power bank. Only Volvo can provide a power bank this size. This allows you to get started with minimal effort.
A full working day
With a typical stop-start working pattern, the EC230 Electric can be operated for up to five hours with a single charge, depending on the type of job (application and intensity of the work cycle) You can do a full eight-hour workday if you can fast charge the machine during a lunch break. Featuring industry-leading battery technology, the EC230 Electric comes with solutions to help you manage the charging process more efficiently. It can be recharged in as little as in 80 minutes.
A range of charging solutions
Choose from a range of charging solutions depending on your operational requirements. Firstly: The EC230 Electric is delivered with a charging cable with the power level of 22 kW, which enables battery charging via a CEE socket. This is the onboard feature, with a charging time 10-12 hours using 400V/32A (3 phase). In addition, you can also use a 150 kW DC fast charger with CCS2 interface, which takes about 80-90 minutes from empty to full, using 750V/200A. If you are Using a 40kW portable charger, 66A 600V DC, it takes 5-6 hours from empty to full (using 600V/66A). Finally, using a Power Unit for power peak shaving, allowing fast charging of big electric machines also at sites with poor grid connection. Input is up to 125A/400V AC (32A or 64A AC connector) and output is up to 150kW.
