Have you been thinking of switching to an electric vehicle but are concerned about the charging process? Perhaps you’re even wondering, can I charge my Volvo EV at home? Jenkins Volvo Cars Ocala is outlining just how easy it can be to charge a Volvo EV.
How to Charge Your EV
Charging an electric vehicle (EV) is as easy as plugging in an appliance. Each Volvo EV comes with a charging cable, which you can plug into any common household outlet for Level 1 charging. You can also opt to have a Level 2 charging station installed at your home, which needs to be installed by a professional. Thanks to Volvo Electrification Services Powered by Qmerit, we can help you with this installation.
Charging Times
With Level 1 charging, you’ll typically add three to seven miles of range per hour, so it’s something you’ll likely only use in rare instances. A Level 2 charger is a 240-volt AC charger, which takes approximately six to eight hours to charge your battery fully. Many EV owners plug their vehicle in while they sleep so that they can take advantage of off-peak charging hours, which have lower electricity rates.
Charging on the Go
You can also quickly charge your EV at a Level 2 public charging station or a compatible Level 3 charging station. At a DC Fast-Charging (Level 3) station, you can charge your vehicle in just 28 to 34 minutes. You can always quickly find the nearest station with your in-car Google Maps feature or the Volvo Cars app.
