Overview of the App
Volvo Car Brasil has launched a mobile application that supports owners of electric vehicles across Brazil. The app connects drivers to a wide charging network and simplifies the process of locating, reserving, and monitoring charging sessions.
Network and Investment
Volvo invested R$ 70 million to establish more than 100 eletropostos nationwide, creating one of the most extensive public charging footprints in the country. This infrastructure underpins the app’s ability to offer broad coverage for long trips and daily use.
Main Capabilities
- Route planning that displays the operational status of each station along your itinerary.
- The ability to reserve a connector up to 20 minutes before arrival.
- Access to the country’s largest linked charging network via the app’s unlock and start features.
- Real-time monitoring of your vehicle’s charging progress from any location.
- Search tools that let you locate the nearest eletroposto by entering an address or using filters for connector types and charger specifications.
- Automatic battery-level alerts, including warnings when charging reaches thresholds such as 80% and full charge.
How to Locate and Book a Charger
Use the app’s search box or filtering options to narrow stations by connector type, charger power, or proximity. When you’re en route, you can hold a connector for up to 20 minutes to reduce uncertainty on arrival. Once at the site, unlock and begin charging through the app.
Notifications and Remote Monitoring
The application delivers push notifications about your battery level and charging milestones. You can check live charging status remotely so you know when the session is complete or when the vehicle reaches a preset percentage.
Why This Helps EV Owners
By combining a substantial public network with remote monitoring, reservation capabilities, and route-aware station status, the app makes charging simpler and planning more reliable for electric vehicle drivers traveling within Brazil.
