Charging

Changing or removing your Plug & Charge contract certificate

The installed Plug & Charge contract certificate can be managed in the car's centre display and the Volvo Cars app if for example you are experiencing problems with Plug & Charge, you want to sign a contract with a new e-mobility service provider, or sell your car.

Problems with Plug & Charge

If you experience problems with Plug & Charge, there are some steps you can take yourself before contacting Volvo support for further help.

Activating Plug & Charge

Before you can charge your car at a charging station that supports Plug & Charge, you need to activate the function with an e-mobility service provider and in the car's centre display.

Plug & Charge

Plug & Charge is an authentication and billing system that simplifies your charging experience. Charging stations that support Plug & Charge identify your car and its associated payment method as soon as you connect the charging cable to your car. This allows for charging to automatically start without the use of additional cards, apps or any other authentication methods.

Battery and charging functions in the Volvo Cars app

In the Volvo Cars app you can find information on the car's battery and charging.

Problems when charging via charging box

In some cases, the charging of your car doesn't start when you have set the charging timers in the charging box. This problem occurs when you are using a charging box with smart charging functionality that isn't compatible with your car.

Charging a fully electric car

Charge the car via a charging station at home or at a public charging station.

Charging continues when the car is fully charged

Under some circumstances, you may notice that your car continues to charge even after it is fully charged.
