Charging Made Simple in Mississippi
Mississippians have always loved the open road: coastal sunsets, college game days, family weekends and backroads filled with adventure. Now, thanks to Volvo’s electric lineup, you can experience it all without a drop of gas. Whether you’re driving an EX30, the spacious EX90 or a T8 plug‑in hybrid, charging your vehicle in Mississippi is easier than you think.
Charging at Home: Your Personal Gas Station
Home charging turns your garage into a gas station. Most EV owners install a Level 2 charger to fully charge the EX30 or EX90 overnight. It’s as simple as plugging in before bed and waking up to a full battery, ready for a day of commuting, errands or a weekend getaway.
-
Scheduled charging: Set your charging schedule to take advantage of off‑peak electricity rates overnight.
-
Tax incentives: Many Mississippi utilities and local programs offer rebates or tax credits when you install a home charger, making it more affordable than you might think.
-
T8 flexibility: Plug‑in hybrids like the XC90 T8 can run electric around town and use the gas engine for longer stretches – no charging anxiety at all.
Think of charging your EV like charging your phone: plug in at night and go in the morning.
Charging Around Town: Power Up While You Play
Mississippi towns are quietly adding more chargers, so your car can charge while you do your errands. You can plug in while picking up groceries, grabbing a coffee or watching a ballgame.
-
Oxford – Level 2 and fast chargers in the city parking garages near the Square let you stroll among the historic buildings and shops while your Volvo charges.
-
Starkville – Grab a coffee at 929 and explore the Cotton District while a downtown DC fast charger tops up your battery.
-
Hattiesburg – The Hattiesburg Zoo offers chargers near the parking lot so the EX90 can recharge while your kids enjoy the carousel and splash pad.
- Gulf Coast – Waterfront Level 3 chargers near Gulfport’s shops let you watch waves or enjoy fresh seafood while the battery fills up.
- Ridgeland and Madison - Stop by The Renaissance at Colony Park, plug into Level 3 chargers, shop, and dine in plenty of great spots.
These chargers turn downtime into charge time, so you’re never waiting on your car. Simply plug in and go about your day.
Charging on the Road: Confident Weekend Getaways
Longer trips across Mississippi become stress‑free when you know where to charge. DC fast chargers along Interstate 55, Highway 49 and other main routes can add hundreds of miles in as little as 30 minutes.
-
Road‑trip tip: Stop in Grenada, Batesville or Hattiesburg on your way to Oxford, Starkville or the Gulf Coast. Grab a bite, stretch your legs and let your Volvo recharge faster than you can finish lunch.
-
The Gulf Coast drive: Plug in at a fast charger in Gulfport before you cruise Highway 90 or enjoy the Biloxi beaches. Charging while you explore means you won’t worry about range when you head home.
-
T8 advantage: Plug‑in hybrids thrive on the open road. Drive electric in town, then use gasoline for extended drives without worrying about charging stops.
The built‑in Google Maps in Volvo vehicles can plan routes with chargers along the way, so you always know where to stop and how long it will take. Your EX30 or EX90 is smart enough to precondition the battery for faster DC charging before you arrive, meaning a shorter charging break and more time on the road.
Why EVs Are Better in Mississippi
-
Range that fits: With the EX30 offering up to 275 miles of range and the EX90 exceeding 300 miles, most Mississippi trips require only a single charge. Plug‑in hybrids add confidence for longer journeys.
-
Free fast charging: Volvo Cars Jackson customers can top off at no cost at Gray‑Daniels Ford’s Level 3 charger in Brandon — just ask Sales Manager Eddie Franklin. Public access remains available for regular paid use.
-
Charging infrastructure: More chargers appear every month in big towns and along major routes, so charging becomes less of a chore and more of a convenience.
-
Local pride: Driving a Volvo electric or hybrid lets you appreciate Mississippi roads without fumes, noise or engine heat. That means quieter trips, cleaner air and more attention on the scenery.
