Start charging the hybrid battery
The car's hybrid battery is charged with a
charging cable between the car and a 230 V
6
socket (alternating current).
Only use the charging cable supplied with the
car or a replacement cable recommended by
Volvo.
IMPORTANT
Never connect the charging cable when
there is a risk of thunderstorm or lightning
strike.
NOTE
Volvo recommends a charging cable in
accordance with IEC 62196 and IEC
61851 which supports temperature moni-
toring.
6 The voltage in the socket may vary depending on market.
7 Or equivalent sockets with a different voltage, depending on market.
WARNING
The hybrid battery must only be
•
charged at maximum permitted charg-
ing current or lower in accordance with
applicable local and national recom-
mendations for hybrid charging from
230 V sockets (alternating current)/
plugs.
Charging the hybrid battery must only
•
take place from an approved grounded
7
230 V socket or from a charging sta-
tion with a loose charging cable (Mode
3) supplied by Volvo.
The control unit's ground fault breaker
•
protects the car, but there may still be
a risk of overloading the 230 V mains
power circuit.
Avoid visible worn or damaged mains
•
sockets since they may lead to fire
damage and/or personal injury if used.
Never use an extension cable.
•
Never use an adapter.

•
breaker. Charging must only take place
with grounded and approved sockets.
Children should be supervised when in
•
the vicinity of the charging cable when
it is plugged in.
High voltage in the charging cable.
•
Contact with high voltage can cause
death or serious personal injury.
Do not use the charging cable if it is
•
damaged in any way. A damaged or
inoperative charging cable must only
be repaired by a workshop - an author-
ised Volvo workshop is recommended.
Always position the charging cable so
