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.

• “Hey, Google, find a charging
station.” Google can provide real-
time information and directions
to charging stations near you.
• Long-distance route planning
is easy. On a long journey, or
driving around town, Google can
do the work for you. If you enter a
destination that is beyond the car’s
range, Google will automatically
build charging stations into the
route, so there is no guesswork.
• The ChargePoint in-car app makes public charging even easier. From
the Google Play Store, download the ChargePoint app and sync it
to your account. Your car will recognize when you need a charge and
display a nearby station. Simply follow the prompts to initiate charging
from within the car. Unlock the station and start charging – your car
will communicate with the station and administer the payment for you.
3. When you take delivery of your Volvo
• With your ChargePoint account, you can handle payment for
ChargePoint-branded chargers, as well as their partner networks,
including EVGo and Flo. For stations not on the ChargePoint network,
simply follow payment instructions provided on the station. Please be
aware that out-of-network fees may be incurred.
• Please see Section 4 of this Quick Guide for information on charging
rates and times.
Features depicted may not be standard or available.
European specifications may be shown.

Preconditioning the vehicle prior to driving
• “Preconditioning” can be used to cool or warm the vehicle’s interior
prior to driving, while the vehicle is connected to a charger.
• Preconditioning helps to save battery energy that would otherwise
be used to cool or warm your cabin at the start of a drive.
• You can activate Preconditioning, or program it for a desired start time
in “Settings” (see below).
• Adding a Time Setting (can manage up to 8 time settings):
1. Open the climate view in the center display.
2. Select the “Parking” tab.
3. Tap on “Schedule.”
4. Select “Add new timer.”
5. Tap on “Date” to set the time for a single date; tap on “Days” to set
the time for one or more days of the week.
6. Set the time when the preconditioning should be finished by
scrolling through the arrows.
7. Tap on “Confirm”; the time setting is added to the list and activated.
