1. Important To Know
No Electrical
Keep in mind that if there is no electrical current to the vehicle –i.e. the
ignition is switched off or the start battery is discharged –certainfunctions
such as power brakes, power steering, etc. will be limited.
Exterior Engine Noise
WARNING
Remember that a battery electric vehicle does not emit any enginenoise. It
is powered only by quiet electric motors, and may be difficult to notice by
children, pedestrians, cyclists, and animals. This is especially true at low
speeds, such as in parking areas.
High-Voltage Current
WARNING
Several components in the car work with high-voltage current that could be
dangerous in the event of incorrect intervention. High-voltageoperating
components and orange-coloured cables should only be handled by
qualified (Volvo) technicians.
Follow the instructions in your Digital Owner’s Manual.
Battery Depletion
WARNING
Volvo strongly recommends not letting the battery deplete to 0%.
Below 20% state of charge you will receive warnings, with guidanceto
charging stations.

Pure Electric Volvo
Preparing Your Home for Charging of the Vehicle’sHigh-
Voltage Battery
At-home fast-charging capability is an important aspect of electric
vehicle ownership.
•Your Volvo will come standard with
a dual mode Level 2 chargingcable
approximately 4.5 metres
in length, capable of 240-volts.The
cable is supplied with an adapter to
enable both Level 1 and Level 2
charging.
Important to know:
1. Due to slow charging speed, Volvo does not recommend Level 1 home
charging as your predominant method of charging. You can set the
charging speed of your XC40 Recharge within the Chargingsection in
your centre screen. For AC charging, the default charge speed is set to 6
amps and this can be increased up to 48 amps. Ensure that your set
vehicle charging rate does not exceed the amperage of the household
circuit being used, to avoid tripping
the circuit breaker.
2. NOTE: The charging port on your Pure Electric Volvo is located behindthe
rear wheel on the driver’s side. Make sure your home charging station is
installed in a location where the cable will reach this section of the vehicle.
