Information about charging in the center display

The center display can be used to set charging level, unlock the charging cable, set current intensity (amperage), and schedule charging.

To access the charging view in the vehicle's center display, tap iCup-2037-Settings symbol and then Charging. The charging view in the center display is also activated when charging begins.

Important

Volvo strongly advises against charging the vehicle with alternating current of 100–120 V in combination with an amperage under 10 A.

Important

Follow the recommendations for high-voltage battery handling to optimize its lifetime and performance.

Schedule charging

When charging using alternating current, it is possible to schedule and set start and stop times for charging. The scheduled charging will then be repeated automatically at the same time every day.

iCup-22w22-BEV-Scheduled charging overview

Select Charging→Set timer in the center display and then activate the scheduled charging in Schedule charging. Drag the iCup-22w22-BEV-Starting time scheduled charging and iCup-22w22-BEV-Ending time scheduled charging controls to set start and stop times for charging.

Deactivate scheduled charging using the control next to Schedule charging.

It is also possible to deactivate scheduled charging. To do this:
  1. Plug the charging cable into the vehicle. The LED indicator in the vehicle's charging socket will glow blue when the vehicle is set to charge at the scheduled time.
  2. Unplug the cable and plug it in again immediately (within 3 seconds).
    The LED indicator next to the charging socket will flash/glow steadily green and the vehicle will be charged. Scheduled charging is now deactivated. To reactivate it, follow the instructions above.

Note

The charging socket's LED light indicates the status for charging the high voltage battery and not whether the vehicle draws power, for example when the climate system is used. Even if the LED indicates that charging is complete, or that scheduled charging is activated, the vehicle can still draw current from the outlet. To avoid affecting the vehicle's range, current is first drawn from the outlet and not from the battery to supply any extra vehicle loads (parking heater, etc.).

Unlocking and locking the charging cable

Tap Unlock cable in the center display to unlock the charging cable and cancel charging. You can lock the cable into the charging socket by tapping Lock cable in the center display. When charging using a wall outlet/charging station (AC charging), charging will resume automatically. During rapid charging (DC charging), charging will not resume automatically.

Setting amperage

iCup-23w08-Current limit
  1. P5-Icon red circle 1Set amperage.

When charging with alternating current[1], it is possible to limit the maximum amperage the vehicle can be charged with.

Select Charging and the arrow next to Current limit (amps). Tap + to increase amperage or - to decrease amperage[2].

For charging with more than one phase, the set amperage per phase is displayed in the instrument panel[3].

Note

The amperage may be limited by the charging station, charging cable or the vehicle's high-voltage system. It is not guaranteed that the vehicle can be charged with the specified amperage if this is higher than what the charging station or charging cable allow.
