Get to know us!
The department Battery & Charging Controls is responsible for the development of major parts of hybrid and electric vehicle systems at Volvo Cars. The group Charging Software is responsible for delivering software functionality, in regards of actual software deliveries, but also diagnostics functionality for the on-board charger (OBC) and the DCDCs in our electrified vehicles.
The on-board charger is essential for electrified vehicles, it holds the functionality to charge the traction battery from the grid and is of the highest importance in a pure electric vehicle. The DCDCs converts energy from the traction battery to the low voltage system. 
The biggest challenge with the charging functionality of the electrified vehicle is that half of the system is outside of the vehicle. The success of the charging-sequence is highly dependent on the implementation in the charging station and that they interpret the standard in the same way as we do. We therefore need to do the utmost we can in our software and hardware to make charging of the vehicle successful. 
Our vision is to deliver the best in the market of Charging Software functionality and continuously evolve our way of working. We strive for a more modular software platform to cope with different configurations of the worldwide charging standards that are continuously updated.
