When I went into the dealership earlier this month to test drive, they gave me a copy of the dealer bulletin dated October 2020, long story short ChargePoint is the preferred unit and they are recommending Qmerit for installation if you want. I remember looking through one of the forums, that someone had mentioned that Dealerships may have had a discount on the home charger. I pushed and they do not offer any additional discounts or special links. So up to you where you want to order the unit from, but remember save your receipts as you can get up to 30% back on installation costs when you file your 2021 taxes next year. You will need to file Form 8911 next year, and this covers both the unit and any labor to install.
We just ordered our ChargePoint Home Flex in preparation of taking deliver. While we ordered it with the 14-50 plug (you can also order with the 6-50 plug, but 14-50 is the newer style and used within RV industry) but plan to hardwire the unit at home. The Volvo XC40 Recharge states it can accept up to a 11 kW charge, which doing electrical math means it will take about 45.5 A to hit this level on 240V. The ChargePoint installation instructs states you will need a 60 A breaker to get 48 A usable to charge with (they require a 125% buffer on the breaker for safety). If you stick with the 50A plug (on a 50A breaker) you get 40 A usable netting a 9.6 kW charge.
You can order direct through ChargePoint - Home Depot - Amazon, but it seems stock is limited as Amazon pricing sky rocketed for the 14-50 plug. We went with Home Depot here and hope to have it next week. Will post photos once we get it installed and configured.
