An EV that charges 30% faster? Volvo and Breathe think their tech can do it

Would you like an electric vehicle that can charge up to 30 percent faster than the current breed? If so, you're not alone—Volvo Cars thinks that's a desirable outcome, too, which is why the carmaker has invested in and partnered with a British startup called Breathe Battery Technologies. Consequently, Volvo will be the first automaker to add Breathe's new battery management technology to its EVs, although, before too long you should see Breathe's tech show up in other EVs, as well as consumer tech devices.
A spinoff out of Imperial College in London, Breathe wants to add some extra brainpower to battery management.
"The frustration that everyone feels is that cell manufacturers brute force and empirically test batteries until they die," explained Ian Campbell, CEO of Breathe. "They ship the data sheet alongside those batteries that has some numbers baked in, that says "control it according to this A4 piece of paper," and that significantly underutilizes the complex electrochemistry and materials in the system that they built and shipped."

Driving the Volvo EX30, a $36K EV that prioritizes sustainability

Volvo provided flights from Los Angeles to Barcelona and three nights in a hotel so we could drive the EC30. Ars does not accept paid editorial content.Volvo’s near-term plan is to become a fully electric carmaker by the year 2030. But the company has an even more ambitious—and arguably more impactful—goal on the horizon: to be completely carbon-neutral by 2040. Volvo aims to achieve this by optimizing its manufacturing processes and greatly increasing the amount of recycled, sustainable materials being used in its cars. The new EX30 EV is a small crossover that represents a big step in this direction.
The EX30 focuses on carbon-neutrality from its inception. This subcompact electric SUV will be built at Volvo’s plant in Zhangjiakou, China—a facility powered by 100-percent climate-neutral electricity—and the carmaker will expand EX30 production to its Ghent, Belgium factory in 2025. Volvo estimates that 25 percent of the aluminum used in the construction of the EX30 is recycled, as is 17 percent of all steel. Additionally, 17 percent of all the plastics in the EX30—everything from bumpers to interior components—are recycled, which is the highest percentage of any Volvo to date.
Sitting inside the EX30, these efforts are on full display. Denim, flax and blended wool that contains 70-percent recycled polyester make up the deco pieces, which not only look cooler than traditional wood or metal trim, but feel more interesting beneath your fingertips. There's a celestial deco that's made from ground-down bits of scraps created during various manufacturing processes, and the denim pieces come from threading together shredded fibers that are usually wasted when recycling jeans. The flax fiber panels are colorful and full of texture, and vegan fabrics cover a long-time Volvo hallmark: super comfy seats.
