  3. Volvo XC40 PHEV Plug-in Hybrid Discussion
    Hi I have a new charger and I want it to just start charging when I plug in. It works fine except if you unlock the car during charging it stops and won’t restart unless you either pull the plug out and plug in again or go into the app and manually restart charging. It’s a family car so this is...

    C40 delivery Feb. 2022 After three software updates over the last couple months, my wife (her car) complained that it only charged from 6 to 54% overnight. In the past it would fully charge in 4-6 hrs. I have a 240v/50a outlet in the garage and I use the factory charging cable. I went into...

    New IPhone can’t be charged wireless at this point. I thought plugging in the mag safe charger would be the solution but it throws an error saying device is not compatible.

    Hi, I'm thinking about some upgrades to get to charging at acceptable speed and I'm interested in any opinions. I'm in Canada, so the electric system is the same as the USA. At the moment, I'm charging from a regular 110v wall plug in my garage. It's a 15 amp switch and has some other stuff on...

    Hi all, I'm a new Recharge owner and plugged my Volvo branded charger in for the first time last night. Prior to starting charging, I had made sure that the car was set to limit charging to 90%. But when I came back out in the morning, the car was at 100% charge. Is there a trick to getting...

    Since this is my first post, a quick intro. Swiss XC40 recharge ultimate in red. Got it a couple of weeks ago and have zero issues with it. It's a joy to ride. We were thinking of making a roadtrip in fall to the nouvelle aquitaine / Loire region, looking at some historic trails. Instead of...
  12. Volvo XC40 Recharge
    Hi there, Has anyone ever had issues with the internal charger? I can charge the car on any DC fast charger with no issues but whenever I try to use AC charging, it fails. It begins to build up on the amp (1/32, 2/32) then the wallbox relay clanks and the charging pauses, it attempts again for...

    Hello all, This is the first winter for our Recharge and as first-time EV owners, I am looking for any input on best practices in charging in cold temps. It was 0 degrees F this AM. I am hoping on this thread to end up with a few "Best Practices" when in Cold temps. I consider cold temps to be...

  15. Volvo XC40 Recharge
    I use a standard outlet to trickle charge my XC40 recharge, but I haven't been able to charge using this method for a week or two now. Fast charging at a public station works. The Volvo cord I use at home is showing a solid white light, which I gather means it is ready to charge, but the car...
  16. Volvo XC40 Recharge
    I am a new owner of an XC40 Recharge. The car tells me it recommends only charging it 80-90% of capacity. I'm taking a big trip and want it to be 100% as I start. Does anyone ever or consistently charge their car 100%? Is it more important NOT to do it to 100% on HOT days? This is a heat...

    Have had my recharge for about 3 weeks now and haven’t tried charging anywhere other then my home. I am considering taking it on our little family trip in a month. When i checked out the location, I saw there were Tesla super charging stations near by. Can I charge my XC40 P8 Recharge at those...
