Important limits

  • Do not place an extension cord, splitter, travel adapter, external timer or surge protector between the power source and vehicle.
  • A regular household outlet is intended only for occasional use, not as Volvo's preferred routine charging solution.
If it does not work

Quick checks.

  • ✓If charging does not start, disconnect from the vehicle and then the source, wait, reconnect the source first and retry.
  • ✓If the connector does not lock, reseat it fully and inspect the cable and port for contamination or damage.
