Volvo EV Charging FAQs Winston NC

Charging your electric vehicle can easily integrate into your daily life, whether commuting, socializing, or traveling. With some planning, you can create a charging schedule that fits seamlessly into your day-to-day. Many drivers find overnight home charging convenient, often taking advantage of off-peak electricity rates to ensure their Volvo EV is ready each morning. For daytime top-ups, the Volvo Cars app simplifies the process. You can locate nearby charging stations, check availability, and pay directly from your phone, making it easy to stay charged wherever you are.

Your EV's charging time largely depends on battery size, the weather outside, and how you're charging. But Volvo has you covered with a smart battery preconditioning feature that helps charge faster by first getting the battery to the right temperature. If you need a quick charge, DC fast charging at certain public stations can get a fully electric Volvo to 80% in about 28–34 minutes. For your regular charging, whether at home with a wallbox or at most public spots, AC charging usually takes around 8 hours for a full battery. With all these easy options and innovative tech, staying charged and on the move is a breeze wherever you're headed.

Volvo electric vehicle drivers now have even more charging options with the North American Charging Standard (NACS) integration, unlocking access to Tesla's extensive Supercharger network. This new capability works alongside fast charging through the CCS (Combined Charging System) network. This means access to over 17,800 additional public fast-charging stations and growing, providing Volvo Cars owners with greater convenience and flexibility to stay powered up wherever they go. This expansion demonstrates Volvo's continued focus on enhancing the electric vehicle experience for owners nationwide.

Experience emission-free driving for most of your daily needs with a Volvo plug-in hybrid. Depending on the model, you can operate fully electric, producing zero tailpipe emissions.
