1. Important To Know

No Electrical

Keep in mind that if there is no electrical current to the vehicle –i.e. the

ignition is switched off or the start battery is discharged –certainfunctions

such as power brakes, power steering, etc. will be limited.

Exterior Engine Noise

WARNING

Remember that a battery electric vehicle does not emit any enginenoise. It

is powered only by quiet electric motors, and may be difficult to notice by

children, pedestrians, cyclists, and animals. This is especially true at low

speeds, such as in parking areas.

High-Voltage Current

WARNING

Several components in the car work with high-voltage current that could be

dangerous in the event of incorrect intervention. High-voltageoperating

components and orange-coloured cables should only be handled by

qualified (Volvo) technicians.

Follow the instructions in your Digital Owner’s Manual.

Battery Depletion

WARNING

Volvo strongly recommends not letting the battery deplete to 0%.

Below 20% state of charge you will receive warnings, with guidanceto

charging stations.

2. Getting ready for your new

Pure Electric Volvo

Preparing Your Home for Charging of the Vehicle’sHigh-

Voltage Battery

At-home fast-charging capability is an important aspect of electric

vehicle ownership.

•Your Volvo will come standard with

a dual mode Level 2 chargingcable

approximately 4.5 metres

in length, capable of 240-volts.The

cable is supplied with an adapter to

enable both Level 1 and Level 2

charging.

Important to know:

1. Due to slow charging speed, Volvo does not recommend Level 1 home

charging as your predominant method of charging. You can set the

charging speed of your XC40 Recharge within the Chargingsection in

your centre screen. For AC charging, the default charge speed is set to 6

amps and this can be increased up to 48 amps. Ensure that your set

vehicle charging rate does not exceed the amperage of the household

circuit being used, to avoid tripping

the circuit breaker.

2. NOTE: The charging port on your Pure Electric Volvo is located behindthe

rear wheel on the driver’s side. Make sure your home charging station is

installed in a location where the cable will reach this section of the vehicle.

2. Getting ready for your new Pure Electric Volvo

Home Charging

•The ChargePoint Home Flex provides fast and efficient charging.This

240-volt Level 2 home charger provides up to 50 amps to charge your

Volvo. More information can be found at:

•This option provides smart connectivity and will help ensure youstart

every day with a full charge.

•We strongly recommend professional installation of home-charging

technology by a licensed electrician. Please contact locally licensed

electricians to arrange a home assessment and receive an installation

quote. When possible, it’s also recommended to arrange for multiple

installation quotes.
