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 centre screen. For AC charging, the default charge speed is set to 6
amps and this can be increased up to 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 4.5 metres
in length, capable of 240-volts. The
cable is supplied with an adapter to
enable both Level 1 and Level 2
charging.
