FAQs about EV Home Charging
Q: Do new Volvo EVs come with a home charging cable?
A: Yes. Your Volvo will come standard with a dual-mode Level 2 charging cable that's capable of 240 volts. The cable comes with an adapter to enable both Level 1 and Level 2 charging.
Q: What's the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 charging?
A: Level 1 charging is done through a regular 120-volt outlet. This method is not recommended for our Falmouth customers because it can take as much as 24 hours to get a full charge. Level 2 charging requires a 240-volt outlet. With this technique, a Volvo EV can be recharged from 10% to 90% in seven to eight hours.
Q: Does Volvo offer home wall chargers for EVs?
A: Yes, Volvo Cars and ChargePoint have partnered to offer you an EV charging option that's up to nine times faster than a standard outlet. ChargePoint Home Flex is even weatherproof, so Plymouth drivers can have it installed on the outside of their home or garage if they choose.
Q: How can I get help installing a ChargePoint Home Flex wall charger?
A: Volvo has teamed with Qmerit's electricians for professional ChargePoint Home Flex wall charger installation. Qmerit works directly with you to ensure that the system is installed properly and safely.
Q: Will Volvo have a new EV model coming out soon?
A: Yes. The Volvo EX90 is expected to have a driving range of more than 300 miles, and it goes on sale in early 2024. People in Yarmouth and beyond can contact us to reserve an EX90 now.
