Getting delivery of a 2023 XC60 Recharge tomorrow. I am working with my electrician to install a 50 amp receptacle in my garage. The electrician wants an image of the receptacle/part number to use when he goes to his supply house.
Can anyone post a photo of their receptacle and/or provide me with a part number? I've reached out to my Volvo dealer but haven't heard back, so I'm hoping someone here can help out. Thanks!

 

 

My electrician installed a Level 2 outlet (20 amp). It takes about 6 hours for my Volvo to recharge. Everything is working great!

 

That is great to hear.

for people thinking about which plug to install.

The 220v plug that comes with the charge cable for the T8 recharge is the NEMA 6-20P. So have electrician install that plug.

If you have the full blown electric xc40, C40 or electric polestar, then the NEMA 14-50P is the plug you want.

now if you only want the electrician to come once and you plan on buying a full electric in the future and you have the space in your breaker box for 2x double pole breakers, then have him install both at the same time to future proof yourself.

 

Great explanation. Thanks.

 

Interesting; prior to moving I was charging on 240 in about 2-2.5 hours. Now it's approximately 5 for a full charge on 120v but just waiting for electrician to install breaker in panel for 240v along with female receiver plug for my charging device.

 

The difference in charge time is likely due to the change in battery size between the 2021 and late 2022 models.

 

correct. The standard range(early 2022 model and older) is a 11.6kw battery. While The extended range(late 2022 model and on) gets the 18.8kw battery but use the same 3.7kwh charge controller.
fyi, anything produced in January or feb 2022 is considered late 22 as 22 models started coming out in June or July 21).
Just do the math 11.6/3.7 and 18.8/3.7 =estimsted charge time on 220v.
