The charging cable that came with my XC40 Recharge can be used with a normal US 120v plug or I can swap out the plug for a NEMA 14-50 plug. I ordered a ChargePoint level 2 charger (backordered 4-5 weeks) and have an electrician lined up to install the NEMA plug for me.
My Recharge will be used for driving to/from work (32 miles round trip) and on weekends, but no long distance designation drives).
Here’s my question: Since I don’t see a need to carry the cable with me because my daily drives will be less than 100 miles, does it make sense to just use the included cable with NEMA plug for fast charging rather than spend the money on the ChargePoint (plus installation)? Will the time to recharge be that much faster with the ChargePoint over the included level 2 charger? In a pinch, I can unplug the Volvo charger and toss it in the trunk.
Thanks in advance - I’m sure most of you have looked into this already.
