Is anyone using one? Any issues? Was it worth the cost? I haven't had any issues getting to a charge and I've got level 2 charging at home. I think I'm just still feeling range anxiety lol
Thanks!
Thanks!
RANGE ANXIETY could be an issue with the Volvo XC40P8 since we only get in the low 200mi range. My Tesla X gets 360mi range so less anxiety. BUT when we planned out first trip I quickly decided NOT to use the Tesla route planner as it does not allow variable setting just like the Volvo has no variable settings. So my advice, load the APP: A Better Route Planner. It allows you to set variables, like How Much Battery Do I Want When I Arrive; At What Level Do I want To Stop To Recharge; How Much Do I Want To Charge Up To. When we took our 1st 450mi trip in the Tesla it only planned 2 stops and the charge time was over an hour at each stop and I was arriving with only 5% battery. The ABRP APP created 4 stops, about 15-20 min each and arrived at 15% battery. And at my age, my route planning stops are determined by bladder-alerts.Is anyone using one? Any issues?

Do not waste the $$ -- you won't need it. Those adapters only work for Level 2 charging (as noted above, Level 3 / DC fast charging / superchargers do NOT work with non-Tesla, and they'll require a completely different adapter which doesnt even exist yet)Is anyone using one?
