Here you will find information about the electric machines and more.
Initially Volvo CE’s electric equipment offer consists of one EC18, two short radius compact excavator, Volvo ECR18 & ECR25 Electric, and two compact wheel loaders, Volvo L20 & L25 Electric.
All Compact Electric models are supplied with a 2 year comprehensive warranty* and 4 additional years of Powertrain and electronics coverage.
*For further details please contact your dealer
The electric compact excavators have a fully electric power source and hydraulic cylinders and pumps. The compact wheel loaders have one electric pump to drive one hydraulic motor for all work hydraulics and one electric motor for drive. The electric compact wheel loaders are actually electric driven.
Depending on the type of job (application and intensity of the work cycle), with a typical stop-start working pattern, you can operate the machine for 4 to 6 hours one single charge which suits most applications.
Depending on the type of job (application and intensity of the work cycle), with a typical stop-start working pattern, you can operate the machine for 4 to 6 hours (4 hours of runtime within an 8 hour typical day of work) with one single charge.
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 14 to 104F (-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 later in 2022 as a BETA version with a free of charge trial period.
AC Level 1 charging on 110V within 24 hours
AC level 2 charging on 208 to 240V within 6 hours, this is the recommended charging level and on an NEMA 14-50 outlet
DCFC (DC Fast Charging) is optional and charging time is reduced to 2 hours, here a 3 phase 480V power supply is required

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 will be delivered with an onboard charger and the charging cable. With those, the machines can be plugged into a normal household grid to charge the battery or to a NEMA 14-50 208 to 240V outlet.
For the optional DCFC fast charger of the electric wheel loader battery or the electric excavator battery, a 3 phase 480V (3 phase 600V for some areas in Canada) supply will be 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 ECR25 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.
Both the ECR25 Electric and L25 Electric are based on conventional construction equipment design. Only the electric components are new in the vehicles. With its new technology the ECR25 Electric and L25 Electric can deliver similar or better performance to their diesel versions. Most operators stated that the electric machines feel stronger compared to the diesel equivalent machines.
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 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.
Our current models Volvo ECR25 Electric and compact wheel loader Volvo L25 Electric are available to test in areas where these products have been launched. Please contact your local dealer for further information. Opportunities to test the new models Volvo L20 Electric, Volvo EC18 Electric and Volvo ECR18 Electric will be available in Q3 - 2022 when we have started ramp up of deliveries.
Volvo Construction Equipment has created an online tool that allows customers to “build and price” their ideal electric compact excavator and wheel loader, marking the company’s latest advancements in both e-commerce and introducing electric construction equipment to the market.
