FAQs about Making Your Home EV-Charging Compatible
Q: Do I need any special equipment to charge my Volvo EV at home?
A: No. Your new Volvo EV comes with a standard-fitted home charging
cable that plugs into a 120-volt charging outlet. This Level 1 charging method
is not ideal, however, because it takes up to 24 hours to achieve a full
charge. Level 2 charging is the preferred technique for Kingston, MA drivers
because it uses a 240-volt plug that only takes seven to eight hours to charge
the battery from 10 to 90%.
Q: What kind of home charging system does Volvo recommend?
A: Volvo has partnered with ChargePoint to enable swifter home
charging. People in Duxbury can charge their Volvo EV nine times faster with
the ChargePoint Home Flex wall charger than they would with a regular home
outlet.
Q: Must I install the ChargePoint Home Flex wall charger myself?
A: No. Volvo works with Qmerit to provide expert installation of your
ChargePoint Home Flex wall charger.
Q: Do I need to install the ChargePoint Home Flex wall charger
indoors, such as in an enclosed garage?
A: No. The ChargePoint Home Flex wall charger is weatherproof, so
Middleboro, MA drivers can have it installed outside their house or in the
garage.
