Make sure the plug type you choose matches the outlet type you have at home. While many outlets look similar, they are definitely not the same. The one called NEMA 5-15 is the regular 120V household outlet that all home appliances use, while other outlet types, such as the 14-50 or 6-50 (The two most popular EV Charging Outlets), get installed specifically for appliances or EV Chargers that require 240V. That said, there are more 240V outlet types that are commonly used, such as the NEMA 14-30, 6-30, 6-20, L14-30, and more.

The Volvo XC90 crossover is the top-of-the-line model in the Volvo EV range, the rebranded post-2022 model of the ‘XC90 Recharge T8’ that offers decent performance, seven-seat practicality and is equipped with 18.8 kW/h battery pack it claims to provide an all-electric range of 43 miles. The Volvo XC90 PHEV can be charged with a Type 1 J1772 charger using a charging cable that adds flexibility to everyday life, with different connectors to suit specific needs. The vehicle charging is monitored by two-way communication between the vehicle and the control box, and the cable is integrated with a control box for self-test diagnostics before supplying the vehicle with power. We have produced a guide to answer the common questions we receive regarding the Volvo XC90 T8 EV charging.

The fastest charging option for the Volvo XC90 PHEV is the Level 2, 240-Volt EV charger, as this fully utilizes the maximum acceptance power that the vehicle allows and, therefore, provides the quickest charge time. The upgrade from Level 1 to Level 2 EV charging will reduce the total charge time from 12.5 hours to 5 hours, which allows owners to reap the benefits of using more electric miles, saving on expensive gasoline, providing the satisfaction of EV acceleration and cleaner emissions. Additionally, using the right cable is crucial for efficient charging, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance.
The Volvo XC90 PHEV uses a J1772 Type 1 charger connector and can be charged at home, work, or any available public charging stations. Different plugs are available to suit different outlet types, such as Level 1 and Level 2, like the NEMA 5-15 and NEMA 14-50, 6-50, 14-30, 6-30, and 6-20 plugs, respectively. The peak alternating current (AC) for this vehicle is 3.7kW/h or 16A, this is the maximum power input determined by the car’s onboard software to protect the battery life and ensure the vehicle only accepts the charge it is rated for. Our EV Chargers are adjustable, so even if you have a more powerful outlet, you can still use it and dial it down as needed. Regardless, your vehicle will only take the amount of power determined by the onboard software, even if you push more.
We offer a range of Volvo XC90 EV chargers to cater to specific needs. Our offerings include level 1 (slower) and level 2 (faster 240-volt) charging options, with various NEMA plug types available. These options include faster level 2 J1772 chargers like NEMA 14-50 40A, which provides the fastest charger alongside the NEMA 6-50. We also have a Level 2 NEMA 14-30 EV plug 24A, which is another popular option as it uses the same outlet commonly used by dryers. All of the EV Chargers have adjustable current, so you can set it to the max current of your car (16A in this case) and keep it that way. If a level 2, 240V outlet isn’t available, we have the NEMA 5-15 which is simply, the standard domestic residential 120V 3-pin outlet.
Most EV owners opt to charge their cars at home due to the lower overnight electricity charge rates and the added convenience of home charging. However, you may also charge the Volvo XC90 at work or at any location where there are level 2 EV charging stations, such as shopping malls, plazas, government facilities, etc. Overnight charging at stay-over locations such as campgrounds, RV parks, etc., usually have charging outlets likely to be the NEMA 14-50 receptacle as the most common.
The typical cost to charge any EV will differ, depending on location (residential or commercial), U.S. State, the time of day, or vehicle charting power. In some U.S. States, peak electricity is much more than the U.S. current average for electricity of 20 ¢/kWh, which has been used in the calculation below.
Place | |
---|---|
Home (empty to full)* | Commercial chargers** |
Avg. cost | |
---|---|
$2.85 | $7.50 |
Cost/mile | |
---|---|
0.15¢ | 0.39¢ |
* Assumes an average U.S. tariff of 20 ¢/kWh. Home charging costs will vary state by state, depending on electricity costs.
** Assumes tariff of 50 ¢/kWh applicable to most commercial Level 2 network EV chargers
The Volvo XC90 PHEV’s charging is limited to level 2 commercial charging stations only. Most Plug-In Hybrid vehicles are not yet compatible with DC Fast chargers.
The fastest available charging option is a Level 2, 240-volt charger which is offered by EV Chargers with the plug types NEMA 14-50, 6-50, 14-30, 6-30, and 6-20. That said, because the Volvo XC90 only accepts a maximum current of 16A (Full in 5 hours), you could use a 6-20 outlet. If you are planning to upgrade to a fully electric vehicle in the future, you could still get a more powerful charger, such as the one with the 14-50 outlet and dial it down to 16A.
The Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid uses a Type 1 J1772 connector. Volvo EVs do not currently have an option to use a NACS charger connector.
Generally, no, although this depends on the owner’s lifestyle. It will take 12.5 hours to charge the battery from empty to full, which may reduce the available electric range of your EV since your battery is unlikely to be fully charged. Level 2 charging reduces this charge time to 5 hours, allowing you to complete most of your driving on electricity and not gas. The Volvo charging cable is designed to fit seamlessly into everyday life, making vehicle charging a practical part of your daily routine.
Our most popular charging option is the Level 2 14-50 240-volt EV charger. This charger fully charges your EV battery within 5 hours, but if you have any other 240V outlet, you can still achieve the same charging time since the Volvo XC90’s maximum acceptance rate is 16A.
The main benefit of Level 2 240-volt charging is that it allows owners to use lower overnight charging electricity rates, obtain faster charging times, and revoke the limitations of Level 1 charging options.
The Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid battery acceptance rate is 3.7 kW/h or 16A, so even with a more powerful charger, faster wouldn’t be possible. Future versions of this vehicle may have higher power acceptance rates to enable faster charging, but not for now.
