Interacting with the Google Infotainment Interface
Interacting with the integrated Google services is as easy and familiar
as using your smartphone.
• Google Assistant supports natural speech. Simply say “Hey Google”
or “OK Google” and state your command, from navigation to just about
anything that can be answered by the internet.
• Google can also control some in-car features, such as climate settings
and heated seats and steering wheel.
• Built-in Google Maps provides real-time traffic and public charging
information,* and it can estimate your remaining state of charge before
you set out. Simply set your desired destination in Google Maps and
the system will show you the predicted battery charge level upon arrival.
• Signing into your own Google account provides a personalized
experience, such as directions to work or home, as well as access
to your recent search history in Google Maps from your other signed-
in devices. This makes trip planning very easy. The system will still
function without being signed in with Google.

Interacting with the Digital Driver Display
The 12.3” Digital Driver Display is located in front of the driver,
directly behind the steering wheel.

Charging Basics
It is important to know how to use both at-home and public charging
systems, and to understand the ways your vehicle can “assist” in the
charging process.
• In “Settings,” selecting the maximum charging rate of 48 amps
will ensure the fastest charging with all types of chargers.
• The standard cable that comes with the vehicle allows your Volvo
to be plugged into both 110V and 240V home outlets, though 240V
is recommended as it can fully recharge the car overnight (e.g. approx.
8 hours). A 110V volt outlet does not carry sufficient current to provide
a viable solution for everyday charging. Due to significantly longer
charging times, it should be used only in emergencies, or to “top up.”
• Charging speed can be set in your center display. To adjust the
charging amp limit, click the gear icon on the center touchscreen
> select Charging > press the plus or minus sign to change the
amperage limit for charging. Set it to 48 amps for best charging
speed, if it’s not already. If you plug it into a lower amperage circuit,
e.g., a 110-volt 15 amp circuit, the car will lower the charging speed
based on the amperage available.
• You can view the car’s charging speed in the instrument cluster,
when parked and plugged in.
• Your Volvo is compatible with most public chargers. It can be charged
on AC (Level 2) chargers as well as DC fast chargers. AC charging
delivers a lower speed of charge, up to 11 kWh, while on DC it can
accept a charge up to 150 kWh. AC is most common at home, work,
or in shopping centers, while DC is typically found on interstate routes.

• With AC public chargers and home wall boxes, there’s no need to adjust
the charging limit. Leave it at 48 amps.
• With DC charging, the onboard charger in the car will handle the power
load for you, regardless of the output of the charger.
• To charge the vehicle, connect any J1772 AC or CCS Combo DC Fast
Charger to the vehicle’s charging port, located on the rear of the driver’s
side exterior. With DC charging, it is necessary to pull out the rubber
plug in the lower charging port. Once the charger is connected to the
vehicle, the charging port will begin to blink yellow as the car initializes
the charging sequence. When the light on the left side of the charging
port turns green, the charger is successfully connected, and the vehicle
is charging. If a red light appears, a charging fault has occurred, and
the plug should be removed.
• Charging Status Lights – Adjacent to the Charging Socket Input
1. White – LED lamp
2. Yellow – Waiting mode for charging to start
3. Flashing green – Charging in process
4. Green – Charging complete
5. Red – Fault has occurred
6. Blue – Scheduled charging

• The charger locks automatically into place when the vehicle is
charging. To unplug the charger, press the cable button on the upper
right side of the charging port. When the light turns white, it is safe
to remove the charger.
• How to stop a charging session: At any time, as long as you have
the vehicle key, use the Unlock button adjacent to the vehicle’s charging
port to interrupt charging.

Note: Electric charging is new technology. You may encounter certain public charging
stations which may have compatibility issues with your vehicle. Should this happen,

we encourage you to call the Volvo Customer Care line at 1-800-458-1552 or the
support line phone number located at the applicable charging station.

• “Hey, Google, find a charging
station.” Google can provide real-
time information and directions
to charging stations near you.
• Long-distance route planning
is easy. On a long journey, or
driving around town, Google can
do the work for you. If you enter a
destination that is beyond the car’s
range, Google will automatically
build charging stations into the
route, so there is no guesswork.
• The ChargePoint in-car app makes public charging even easier. From
the Google Play Store, download the ChargePoint app and sync it
to your account. Your car will recognize when you need a charge and
display a nearby station. Simply follow the prompts to initiate charging
from within the car. Unlock the station and start charging – your car
will communicate with the station and administer the payment for you.

• With your ChargePoint account, you can handle payment for
ChargePoint-branded chargers, as well as their partner networks,
including EVGo and Flo. For stations not on the ChargePoint network,
simply follow payment instructions provided on the station. Please be
aware that out-of-network fees may be incurred.
• Please see Section 4 of this Quick Guide for information on charging
rates and times.
