Different Charging Solutions Below, you will find various charging solutions, so you can compare which is best for you.

Three-pin Power Source

Slow charging typically occurs at home or at work using a three-pin (3 kW AC) power source along with the car's own adaptor. As the name suggests, this is the slowest charging option. However, it is convenient since charging can take place overnight.

It's important to note that owners should not leave their cars plugged into a three-pin charger for extended periods, as this can lead to accelerated battery deterioration. For more specific guidance, it's advisable to consult the relevant car manufacturer.

For those looking for slightly faster home charging options, a dedicated charging unit, such as a 3.6 kW wall box, is available.

Volvo Wallbox

Charge your electric or hybrid Volvo vehicle at home, at whatever time suits you, by using Volvo’s wallbox. This intelligent and fast home charging station allows you to remotely control when and how long your Volvo charges, just through the Volvo Cars app.

Public Charging

Rapid Chargers – Often referred to as DC Chargers – are available at select public chargers and are the fastest way to charge your electric car. Can charge your vehicle to 80% in approximately 22 minutes, depending on the model. Rapid charging stations are often found on motorway services, making them convenient if you are doing a long road trip.

Destination Chargers – Often referred to as AC Chargers – are available at workplaces, shopping centers or residential areas. These accessible chargers allows you to park and charge your vehicle for extended periods of time, so you can do your usual routine and your Volvo will be ready when you need it.

By using the Volvo Cars app, you can find the nearest and available public charging stations, so you can plan your route in advance. On the Volvo Cars app, you can also pay online and monitor your charge levels.
