Recommended equipment for a Volvo
Based on the most common Volvo configuration, Type 2 plug and three-phase charging. Every model page refines it by version.
At home, on a reinforced socket
The simplest way to charge every night: a Green'up socket fitted by an electrician, much safer than a household socket, with the 16 A cable of your Volvo.
On a public charger or a wallbox
Your Volvo accepts three-phase power: this 32 A Type 2 cable uses its 11 kW on 11 and 22 kW chargers.
On a public charger or a wallbox
Your Volvo charges in single phase, up to 11 kW: this Type 2 cable is all it needs on any charger, in town or at home.
On a public charger or a wallbox
Your Volvo has a Type 1 inlet: this Type 2 / Type 1 cable connects it to public chargers and to wallboxes with a Type 2 socket.
A wallbox at home
A 22 kW three-phase wallbox uses the 11 kW of your Volvo and will keep up with your next car.
A wallbox at home
A 7.4 kW single-phase wallbox, the most your Volvo accepts at home, with smart control to charge at off-peak rates.
Good to know about charging a Volvo
All Volvo electric and plug-in hybrid models have a Type 2 plug. The electric models charge at 11 kW three-phase; plug-in hybrids at 3.7, 6.4 or 11 kW depending on the year.
- EX30, XC40 and C40 Recharge, EX60, EX90, ES90 and EM90: 11 kW. An EX30 goes from 20 to 80% in 2h41 at 11 kW, and in 4h00 on a 7.4 kW wallbox.
- XC60 plug-in hybrid: 11 kW three-phase for the 2027 model year T6 and T8, 6.4 kW for versions with the 18.8 kWh battery, 3.7 kW for older ones.
- XC90 hybrid: 6.4 kW with the 18.8 kWh battery, 3.7 kW before. V60 and V90 hybrids: 6.4 kW.
- S60 and XC40 hybrids: 3.7 kW.
At 6.4 kW, a Volvo hybrid charges at full power on a single-phase 7.4 kW wallbox. The 3.7 kW hybrids only need a Green'up reinforced socket. For an electric model or a 2027 XC60, choose an 11 kW wallbox with a three-phase meter.
