2. Getting ready for your new
Pure Electric Volvo
Preparing Your Home for Charging of the Vehicle’s
High-Voltage Battery
At-home fast-charging capability is an important aspect of electric
vehicle ownership.
Important to know:
1. Due to slow charging speed, Volvo does not recommend Level 1 home
charging as your predominant method of charging. You can set the
charging speed of your XC40 Recharge within the Charging section
in your center screen. For AC charging, charge speed can be set
between 6 amps and 48 amps. Ensure that your set vehicle charging
rate does not exceed the amperage of the household circuit being
used, to avoid tripping the circuit breaker.
2. NOTE: The charging port on your Pure Electric Volvo is located behind
the rear wheel on the driver’s side. Make sure your home charging
station is installed in a location where the cable will reach this section
of the vehicle.
• Your Volvo will come standard
with a dual mode Level 2 charging
cable approximately 14 feet in
length (4.5 meters), capable of
240-volt. The cable is supplied
with an adapter to enable both
Level 1 and Level 2 charging.
