Interacting with the Digital Driver Display
The 12.3” Digital Driver Display is located in front of the driver,
directly behind the steering wheel.
• The Digital Driver Display is where you can view information related to
your vehicle’s state-of-charge – in terms of percentage charged, rate
of charge, and time to completion.
• When your vehicle is in Park, and connected to a charger, the Digital
Driver Display shows a wealth of information about the state, and rate,
of battery charging of your vehicle.
• There are 3 visual options for the Digital Driver Display to select from.
To change the display mode, press the lower toggle button on the right
side of the steering wheel, just below voice control.
• Calm Mode shows only the most necessary information (e.g., state of
charge) so you can relax and focus on your drive.

Charging Basics
It is important to know how to use both at-home and public charging
systems, and to understand the ways your vehicle can “assist” in the
charging process.
• In “Settings,” selecting the maximum charging rate of 48 amps
will ensure the fastest charging with all types of chargers.
• The standard cable that comes with the vehicle allows your Volvo
to be plugged into both 110V and 240V home outlets, though 240V
is recommended as it can fully recharge the car overnight (e.g. approx.
8 hours). A 110V volt outlet does not carry sufficient current to provide
a viable solution for everyday charging. Due to significantly longer
charging times, it should be used only in emergencies, or to “top up.”
• Charging speed can be set in your center display. To adjust the
charging amp limit, click the gear icon on the center touchscreen
> select Charging > press the plus or minus sign to change the
amperage limit for charging. Set it to 48 amps for best charging
speed, if it’s not already. If you plug it into a lower amperage circuit,
e.g., a 110-volt 15 amp circuit, the car will lower the charging speed
based on the amperage available.
• You can view the car’s charging speed in the instrument cluster,
when parked and plugged in.
• Your Volvo is compatible with most public chargers. It can be charged
on AC (Level 2) chargers as well as DC fast chargers. AC charging
delivers a lower speed of charge, up to 11 kWh, while on DC it can
accept a charge up to 150 kWh. AC is most common at home, work,
or in shopping centers, while DC is typically found on interstate routes.
