[White XC40]

Since there is no timed charging and the Volvo cable is too short for my needs, I installed a Wallbox charger yesterday. Timer set for 11 pm - 5 am via Bluetooth and worked perfectly. 25 foot cord is great. No complaints so far.

I thought the Volvo can be schedule via the On Call app?

It will be able to at "some point in the near future."™

I am reviewing my install to make sure I have easy control over the scheduler from the EVSE.

Thanks. Yeah I was going to go Grizzl-E, but like you want charging schedule determined by the EVSE and just leave the car to always charge. I have a VW ID.4 AWD on order and was being enticed by the XC40, but the potential electronic quirks and range inefficiencies have me probably waiting on thenVW even though there are very decent incentives on the XC40 right now.

We hope to pick up our heat pump equipped XC40 this weekend. Which incentives are you referring to?

Dealers here in ATL are taking between $3-4K off on purchases and then ona lease around $9K since Volvo is passing the $7500 straight through and then dealer incentives on top of that. The problem with the lease is the lease interest rate is like 4.5%. Also on purchase for 60 months Volvo has 0.99% right now. Since GA is not a heavy EV state, 2 of the 3 local dealers have a dozen cars right now.
