Warning  
Charging components and high voltage  
The car's charging components carry hazardous currents and voltages. They must be handled with care. Do not  
perform actions that are not clearly described in the user manual.  
Do not modify or make your own repairs to any charging components. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop for  
any required repairs or servicing.  
Installation and repairs of at-home charging equipment[1] must be performed by a licensed electrician.  
Damage to the car's high-voltage components, including the traction battery, can cause overheating, fire and serious  
personal injury. If there is a risk of damage, such as after battery leakage, flooding, fire or a collision, do not use the  
car. Contact an authorised Volvo workshop as soon as possible. If possible, leave the car outdoors and away from  
people, buildings, property and other objects that could catch or spread fire.  
If you have a pacemaker or similar device  
Charging the car may affect the function of an implanted pacemaker or other medical equipment. People with an im-  
planted pacemaker are recommended to consult a doctor before charging the first time.  
Note  
12 V battery charging  
The car keeps the 12 V battery charged as long as the high-voltage battery has sufficient charge.  
Condensation during charging  
During charging, condensation from the cooling system can collect under the car. This is perfectly normal and caused by  
the traction battery cooling down.  
AC charging at a charging station or from a charging point at home  
AC charging points are available at a variety of charging locations, both public and private. An AC charging point can be in-  
stalled at home and is the recommended source for regular charging.  
AC charging with a household socket  
You can charge your car from a regular household socket. This type of charging is only suitable for occasional charging and is  
not recommended for regular use. If you are planning to charge your car from a household socket, there are additional steps  
you need to take to ensure it is done safely.  
Warning  
Do not use visibly worn or damaged electrical sockets as they could cause overheating, electric shock or personal injury.  
The content of this manual represents the status of the user manual at the time of printing and may not be completely valid in future  
instances. For more information, refer to the first page for the complete disclaimer note.  
177 / 444  
Important  
The car must only be charged from approved, earthed household sockets.  
Do not exceed the maximum permitted charging current when charging via a regular household socket. Limits  
imposed by local and national charging recommendations may apply.  
Ensure that the household socket fuse can handle the charging cable's specified current before you start charging. If  
you are uncertain, the socket must be checked by a qualified and licensed electrician.  
Never connect the charging cable when there is a risk of thunderstorm or lightning strike.  
DC fast charging  
DC fast charging is available at certain charging stations. These charging stations deliver very high power, as well as shorter  
charging times.  
Note  
Charging stations with support for fast charging are usually clearly marked CCS or Combo.  
Charging cables  
There are different charging cables to use when you charge your car. Mode 3 cables are the standard cable to use when char-  
ging electric cars. There are different versions of the mode 2 cable available. Mode 2 cables can be used as an emergency solu-  
tion, but it is not recommended to use them as a daily charging method.  
Automatic charging while driving  
Your car can automatically charge its batteries[2] slightly while driving. This is done through regenerative braking during lighter  
braking using the foot brake and by engine braking in gear B. Charging your car this way is not an alternative to using a char-  
ging station or a charging point, but it is a way of re-using some of the car's kinetic energy during braking manoeuvres.

7.5. Plug & Charge  
Plug & Charge is an authentication and billing system that simplifies your charging experience.  
Plug & Charge is enabled by ISO 15118, the international standard for charging electric cars. When using Plug & Charge, you  
don't need to use additional cards, apps or manual authentication steps. Instead, you can just connect the charging cable to  
your car which automatically recognises and authenticates your car, allowing the charging process to start.  
The number of charging stations that support Plug & Charge is limited and all types of charging might not be supported. If the  
charging station doesn't support Plug & Charge, you need to authorise yourself at the charger.  
There are other ways that can help you simplify your charging process. By using certain car parameters, you can connect the in-  
formation to different apps and charging providers. Your car can then be automatically identified at the charging station,  
without any need for additional cards. However, the car's displays won't show any information or instructions for these  
methods.  
7.5.1. Activating Plug & Charge  
You can activate Plug & Charge in the charging view. This can simplify the charging process, from  
authentication to billing.  
Note  
Plug & Charge is included in the charging view but may not be available in your country. This is because e-mobility  
service providers[1], charging stations and other infrastructure need to support Plug & Charge in your country before the  
feature can be used.

Note  
If there are some faults related to Plug & Charge, try to reconnect the charging cable. If it still doesn't work, check the  
charging settings to see if there is a contract installed in your car. If there is a contract, contact your e-mobility service  
provider to make sure that there are no issues with the contract. If there is no contract, follow the activation steps  
again. If the problem persists, try normal charging. Authorise yourself at the charger and follow the instructions in the  
charging station's interface.  
If Plug & Charge isn't working after a workshop visit, it could be because the contract certificate was removed from  
your car. Follow the activation steps again.  
Handling Plug & Charge contract certificates  
Note  
Removing contract certificates  
After the Plug & Charge contract certificates are created, they're stored in the car and in an external server outside the car.  
Remember to delete both certificates when ending or transferring car ownership.  
Your contract certificate in the car can be deleted from the centre display. Press the car symbol  
go to Settings → Charging → Advanced settings → Plug & Charge → Charging account, then press the rubbish bin  
symbol

To delete your contract certificate in the external server, go to the Plug & Charge settings in the mobile app for your car.[3]  
Factory resetting of your car doesn't automatically delete the installed contract certificates. You still have to delete the  
contract certificate via the centre display.  
Adding a new contract certificate  
To add a new contract certificate, make sure Plug & Charge is on and follow the activation steps again. The most recent  
contract certificate will always be installed. If you want to delete the account permanently, you also need to cancel the  
contract with your e-mobility service provider.
