Setting the amperage limit for charging
You can set an amperage limit for AC charging by selecting a value in the charging view.
Ampere, often written as "amp" or "A", is the unit for electric current. You can set an amperage limit in the charging view to control how much power the car uses when charging. This helps avoid overloading your home's electrical system and protects your battery from unnecessary wear and tear.
An amperage limit can be set for a specific location. The amperage limit setting is automatically applied when you charge your car in that location.
- Press the car symbol
in the bottom bar and go to Settings. - Go to Charging→Amp limit.
- Adjust the amperage limit to your preferred value.[1]The amperage limit changes and the value is saved until you change it again. When your car is charging, the amperage limit is shown in the centre display.You can also set an amperage limit in the Volvo Cars app.
Tip
The amperage may be limited by the charging station, charging cable or the car. There is no guarantee that the car can be charged with the specified amperage if it is higher than what is permitted by the charging station or charging cable.Note
