Volvo electric vehicles (EVs) are a big hit in Barnstable because they're eco-friendly and luxurious. Best of all, you can charge them at home instead of driving to a gas pump. Volvo Cars Cape Cod has a wide array of EVs in our new inventory, along with hybrid vehicles. We can even deliver one free of charge to your home in Hyannis. Our dealership has put together the following FAQs to help you make your home EV charging compatible.
FAQs about Making Your Home EV Charging Compatible
Q: What do I need to have in my home in order to charge a Volvo EV?
A: Any kind of electrical outlet will do because your Volvo EV will come standard with a dual-mode charging cable. An adapter is included that lets Falmouth drivers plug it into a 120- (Level 1) or 240-volt (Level 2) home outlet. Level 2 is recommended for faster charging times.
Q: How long will it take to charge my Volvo EV at home?
A: With Level 1 charging, it can take up to 24 hours to fully charge your Volvo EV. With Level 2 charging, people in Plymouth can charge their Volvo EV from 10% to 90% in 7 to 8 hours.
Q: Does Volvo offer a faster home charging system?
A: Yes. A ChargePoint Home Flex wall charger can be installed either in your garage, or on the outside of your home. We recommend that Yarmouth drivers have it professionally installed by a Qmerit electrician. The ChargePoint Home Flex wall charger provides up to 50 amps and 9 times faster charging than an ordinary 240-volt home outlet.
Q: Will Volvo be coming out with a new EV model soon?
A: Yes. The Volvo EX90 will be a midsize SUV similar to the XC90, but it will be all electric. It won't be released until early 2024, but you can reserve an EX90 now and be one of the first people in Hyannis to drive one.
