Step by step.
- 01
Shift the V60 to Park and verify the household outlet or charging point is suitable for vehicle charging.
- 02
Connect the cable to the charging source, unless the station uses a permanently attached cable.
- 03
Press the back edge of the charging hatch, remove the connector cover and keep it clear of the paint.
- 04
Insert the connector fully into the vehicle port, wait for it to lock and confirm charging status at the port or instrument panel.
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.
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.
