This check combines the verified year, any source-supported powertrain scope, source-named trim/package and required equipment. It does not read a VIN or factory build record.
Published availability and qualifications
Verified in the 2025 EX40 manual, but usable only where vehicle software, the e-mobility provider, the contract and the station all support Plug & Charge.
Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Press the vehicle symbol and open Settings > Charging > Advanced settings > Plug & Charge.
- 02
Turn Plug & Charge on, press View more and copy the vehicle's PAID provisioning identifier.
- 03
Follow the Volvo Cars app or supported provider instructions to activate the contract.
- 04
Connect at a compatible public station and verify that contract installation or authorization completes before charging starts.
Important limits
- Not every public charger or provider supports ISO 15118 Plug & Charge.
- Ending ownership requires deleting the certificate in both the vehicle and the external provider server; a factory reset alone does not remove it.
Quick checks.
- ✓Reconnect the cable and check Charging account for an installed contract.
- ✓If no contract is installed, repeat enrollment; otherwise contact the provider or authorize normally at the station.
