Switching to an electric Volvo like the EX30 or EX90 is exciting — smooth power, quiet rides, and zero tailpipe emissions. One of the biggest advantages? Charging at home. Here’s how to make it simple, affordable, and convenient in Mississippi.
Choose the Right Charger
Your Volvo includes a standard Level 1 charger that plugs into any household outlet, but it’s best for occasional top-ups. For daily driving, most owners install a Level 2 charger. These connect to a 240-volt outlet and can fully charge an EX30 or EX90 overnight. We can recommend trusted local electricians who’ve helped other Volvo customers.
Use Scheduled Charging
Electricity is often cheaper late at night. Using your Volvo’s scheduled charging feature, you can plug in after dinner but start charging after midnight to take advantage of off-peak rates. It’s better for your wallet and the grid.
Location Matters
Install your charger near where you park most often — ideally in a garage or carport for weather protection. If you park outside, choose a charger rated for outdoor use. A neat, accessible setup makes charging feel effortless.
Pre-Condition Your Volvo
In summer heat or winter chill, use the Volvo Cars app to pre-condition your cabin while still plugged in. It keeps the interior comfortable without using battery power once you hit the road.
Stay Flexible with Public Charging
Home charging is most convenient, but knowing your public charging options adds peace of mind. Apps like PlugShare or ChargePoint help you find DC fast chargers for road trips. Your Volvo’s built-in Google Maps can also route you to charging stops automatically.
