Adding and managing charging schedules

You can set and activate a charging schedule for your car in the charging view. This means you can specify when you want the car to charge, such as when plugged in overnight.

 Tip

You can also add a charging schedule from the Volvo Cars app.

A charging schedule can be set for a specific location. When you arrive at that specific location, the charging schedule is automatically applied.

Press the car symbol in the bottom bar and go to Settings.
Go to Charging → Schedules.
Press Add to add a charging schedule.
Select start and stop times for the charging schedule by using the timer and then press Save.
Activate the schedule by turning it on.
The timer is active and the scheduled charging time is visible in the charging view.

You can also modify the schedule by adjusting start and stop times.

Deactivate the schedule by turning it off. The timer is not active and no scheduled charging is planned.

 Note

Override a charging schedule

If you want to interrupt an ongoing scheduled charging session, you can simply unplug the charging cable from the car. Connect the cable again immediately1 to start a normal charging session. The scheduled charging is stopped and you need to manually set start and stop times for your next scheduled charging session.

You can also override a charging schedule and charge straight away via the Volvo Cars app. This option is available if a charging schedule is active, your car is in park and the charging cable is connected.
