Charging in the car's centre display

Updated 26/03/2024

From the centre display it is possible to set the State Of Charge (SOC), unlock the charging cable, set amperage and schedule charging.

To access the charging view in the car's centre display, tap on iCup-2037-Settings symbol and then on Charging. The charging view in the centre display is also activated when charging is started.

Important

Volvo strongly recommends against charging the car with an alternating current of 100-120 V in combination with an amperage below 10 A.

Important

Follow the recommendations regarding handling the high voltage battery in order to optimise its service life and performance.

Schedule charging

When charging with alternating current, it is possible to schedule charging and set start and stop times for when charging should take place.

iCup-22w22-BEV-Scheduled charging overview

Select Charging → Set timer in the centre display and then activate the scheduling with Schedule charging. Use the controls at iCup-22w22-BEV-Starting time scheduled charging and iCup-22w22-BEV-Ending time scheduled charging to set the desired start and stop time for charging.

Use the control at Schedule charging to deactivate scheduling of charging.

Temporarily bypassing the settings for scheduled charging

There is the option to temporarily bypass the settings for activated scheduled charging without the need to deactivate scheduling. For example, it may be useful if the car has charging scheduled for during the night but charging is also necessary outside of this time, e.g. when parking after using the car.

Plug the charging cable into the car – the LED lamp by the car's charging input socket will illuminate in blue, when the car is set to charge according to the set schedule. Charging will not take place if this is done outside the scheduled time.

Unplug the cable and plug it in again.

The LED lamp by the car's charging input socket flashes/illuminates in green and the car is charged. The scheduled charging will still be activated next time the car is plugged in for charging.

Note

The charging input socket's LED lamp indicates status for charging the high voltage battery and not whether the car is consuming power, such as when the climate control is in use. Even if the LED lamp indicates that charging has finished, or that scheduled charging is activated, the car may still draw current from the socket. To avoid affecting the car's range, current is firstly drawn from the socket and not the battery in order to supply any additional load from the car (such as parking heater, etc.).

Locking and unlocking the charging cable

Tap on Unlock cable in the centre display to unlock the charging cable and end the charging in progress. You can lock the cable into the charging input socket by tapping on Lock cable in the centre display. Charging is then resumed automatically when charging via wall socket/charging station (AC charging). Charging will not be resumed automatically during fast charging (DC charging).

Setting the amperage

When charging with alternating current1, it is possible to limit the maximum amperage the car can be charged with.

Select Charging and the arrow at Current limit (amps). Tap on + to increase the amperage or - to reduce the amperage2.

When charging with more than 1-phase, an average value for set amperage3 is shown in the driver display.

Note

The amperage may be limited by the charging station, charging cable, or the car's high voltage system. There is no guarantee that the car can be charged with the specified amperage if it is higher than permitted by the charging station or charging cable.
