The installed Plug & Charge contract certificate can be managed in the car's centre display and the Volvo Cars app if for example you are experiencing problems with Plug & Charge, you want to sign a contract with a new e-mobility service provider, or sell your car.
For Plug & Charge to work, both the charging station and the car need to support Plug & Charge. If you experience a problem with Plug & Charge, there are some steps you can take to try and resolve it yourself before contacting Volvo support.
Before you can charge your car at a charging station that supports Plug & Charge, you need to activate the function with an e-mobility service provider and in the car's centre display.
Plug & Charge is an authentication and billing system that simplifies your charging experience. Charging stations that support Plug & Charge identify your car and its associated payment method as soon as you connect the charging cable to your car. This allows for charging to automatically start without the use of additional cards, apps or any other authentication methods.
Charge the car at home via a charging station or at a public charging station.
In the Volvo Cars app you can find information on the car's battery and charging.
In some cases, the charging of your car doesn't start when you have set the charging timers in the charging box. This problem occurs when you are using a charging box with smart charging functionality that isn't compatible with your car.
Under some circumstances, you may notice that your car continues to charge even after it is fully charged.
