Volvo has an unusually varied range in our listing: 16 models and 76 versions from model years 2014-2027, split almost evenly between plug-in hybrids (36) and electric cars (40), with batteries from 8 to 112 kWh. As many as 32 versions accept only 3.7 kW, and for them the Q37 is the right choice; 35 versions charge at 11 kW with the Q11, and five reach 22 kW, the only ones for which the Q22 makes sense. That is why, with Volvo, the model name alone is not enough - before choosing a portable charger or wallbox, you need to know whether it is a hybrid or an electric car.

Charging Volvo - FAQ
Volvo XC40 plug-in and the electric EX40 - is the match the same?
No. Thirty-six plug-in versions in the Volvo range accept 3.7-7.2 kW: 32 of them take 3.7 kW and get a Q37 or P35, one XC90 takes 6.6 kW and gets a Q74 or P72, and the three XC60 plug-ins charge at 7.2 kW over two phases, so for them we match a three-phase Q11 or P11. Forty electric versions run at 11 or 22 kW and there a Q11, P11 or Q22 comes in. That is why the model name alone is not enough for the match.
Which Volvo accepts 22 kW?
Five of the 76 versions in our database have a 22 kW onboard charger and only for those does a Q22 make sense. The rest of the range stops at 11 kW or below. Before choosing a Q22, confirm that value in your car's specification and check that you have a three-phase installation.
Volvo EX30 and EX90 - which charger for this brand's electric cars?
Electric Volvos in our database have either 11 kW or 22 kW. The clear majority, 35 of 40 versions, is 11 kW, meaning a Q11 or P11. Five versions accept 22 kW and there a Q22 fits. One number in the specification settles which charger you buy.
Why do you recommend only 3.7 kW for the S60 and S90 hybrids?
Because that is what they accept. Thirty-two versions in the Volvo range have an onboard charger of exactly 3.7 kW and they are plug-in hybrids with batteries from 8 kWh. Such a pack fills in 2-3 hours, so a Q37 or P35 is entirely sufficient. More powerful equipment will not shorten that time.
How long does charging a large electric Volvo at home take?
The largest pack in the range holds 112 kWh. At 11 kW a full charge from a low state is around 10-11 hours, meaning one night. A version with a 22 kW onboard charger comes down to roughly 5-6 hours. With plug-in hybrids and their 8 kWh battery we are talking about 2-3 hours.
The range covers 2014-2027 and five different powers - how do I check my version?
All 76 versions share a Type 2 socket, so the connector is not a problem. The onboard power settles it: the Volvo range has 3.7 kW, 6.6 kW, 7.2 kW, 11 kW and 22 kW. You will find it in the manual under the AC charging parameter, and we will match equipment to it.
