General information about charging cables
A mode 3 charging cable is used when charging at a charging station. Some charging stations have a permanent charging cable that is used instead.
Note
The information in this section applies only to charging using a mode 3 charging cable or charging station with a permanent charging cable.
Warning
Only use the charging cable provided with your vehicle or a replacement cable purchased from a Volvo retailer.
Charging with permanent charging cable in accordance with mode 31
In certain places, the charging cable is permanently installed within a charging station connected to an electrical outlet. You must therefore use the charging station's charging cable and follow the instructions on the charging station.
