Posting here to raise awareness and in case folks feel moved to provide feedback to Volvo.

Some months ago, supposedly as part of a planned switchover to a new API, Volvo suddenly stopped providing API access to vehicles in North America. The API (and dependent Home Assistant integration) are still working for vehicles in other regions of the world, but not in North America. They just say they are “working on” restoring it - since last year …

Folks on the HA Community forum are discussing this (and more to do with the integration) here.

If you’re experiencing inconvenience due to this decision by Volvo, or if you just care about open access to data and/or companies not selling products (in this case, a $80K car) and then removing important functionality, please consider reaching out to Volvo via email, social media, or some other way. Consider telling them that you think they should restore API access to North American vehicles.

Thanks!
