Volvo wallbox

Use the Volvo wallbox to charge your car at home. It's prepared for bi-directional charging and can be installed both inside and outside. You can purchase the wallbox at your local Volvo Cars retailer.

Bi-directional charging will be available at different times for different markets. When available, you’ll be able to use your Volvo wallbox with a compatible Volvo1 to power your home, the grid, or other vehicles or devices. This will help reduce energy costs and improve efficiency.

The wallbox can be used with the real-time energy meter and the Volvo Cars app.

The different Volvo wallboxes available 2 can be used for 1 phase or 3 phase Alternating Current (AC) charging. It's possible to charge any electric car when used with a compatible charging cable.

The wallbox requires an internet connection via Wi-Fi, ethernet cable or a mobile network (through its built-in SIM card).

 Note

Your Volvo wallbox must be mounted by a certified electrician. It's recommended that the electrician is a certified Volvo installation partner. This will be organised by your Volvo dealer when purchasing a wallbox.

Once you have purchased a Volvo wallbox, see Getting started with your wallbox.

Real-time energy meter

The real-time energy meter is used in connection with the Volvo wallbox and Volvo Cars app. It helps to monitor your energy usage in real-time and provides fuse protection for your home.

Using the Volvo wallbox with the real-time energy meter will enable bi-directional charging3. It's also the only load balancer that works with the Volvo wallbox.

Volvo Cars app

You can connect the Volvo Cars app to your wallbox using your Volvo ID.

 Note

If you have an EX30, you won't be able to connect the Volvo EX30 app with the wallbox. Instead, you'll have to download the Volvo Cars app. This also applies to non-Volvo owners.

In the Volvo Cars app you can:

  • See the status of your wallbox.
  • Check the charging history.
  • Start, stop and schedule charging.
  • Select the charging speed (amp limit).
  • Restrict wallbox access to provide extra security.
