The reason for that second figure is unusual enough to be worth a section of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Recharge plug-in hybrids stop at 3.7 kW\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVolvo does not hide this, which is to its credit. Its own model year 2024 specification sheets describe the onboard charger as a two phase 6.4 kW unit and then add, in brackets, that home charging is limited to 3.7 kW. That bracket is Volvo's, not ours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA two phase charger needs two live phases to reach its rating. A British house has one, so the car takes 16 amps from it and lands at 3.7 kW. It is not a fault and no setting changes it. A 16 amp lead therefore delivers everything an S90, V60, V90, XC60 or XC90 Recharge can accept, and a 32 amp lead buys flexibility rather than speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the third column means\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe column to trust is the third one. It states what each car takes from an ordinary British house rather than what it could take in a country where three phases reach the meter. Those two numbers are often different and the difference is never the cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat actually separates one Volvo from another\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe EX30, the EX90 and the XC40 Recharge, now sold as the EX40, all reach 7.4 kW at a British house and want the 32 amp lead. The C40 and EC40 share every charging answer with the XC40, so if you have one of those the XC40 page applies to it in full.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePort position is consistent in a way the rest of the range is not: Volvo charges from the rear nearside, the kerb side at the back, with one front nearside exception. Volvo does not publish the position for every model, and where that is the case the model page says so instead of inferring it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing a length\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe mistake to avoid is buying for the length of the car rather than the length of the run. What matters is the distance from your charge point to the flap, which depends on which way you park. Ten metres removes the question on most British driveways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn EX90 is five metres long with a rear socket, so ten is the honest recommendation. The kerb side position helps at a public post and makes reversing onto a drive the cheaper option in cable terms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow these cables are built\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhatever your car, the cable is the same underneath. Tinned copper cores, IP67 rated connectors moulded rather than assembled, a cold flexible outer sheath, two years of warranty and free next working day delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVolvo's sister brand is laid out the same way in the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/polestar-ev-charging-cables\"\u003ePolestar range\u003c\/a\u003e, and the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/land-rover-ev-charging-cables\"\u003eLand Rover range\u003c\/a\u003e covers similar ground on the plug-in hybrid side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"evp-see-also\"\u003eNot sure which model you have?

Everything else is 10 metres, and a long drive or shared parking is where the 15 and 20 metre versions belong.

Its 2024 spec sheets describe a two phase 6.4 kW charger and add, in brackets, that home charging is capped at 3.7 kW. So 16A is the cable, and that part is not in doubt. What we cannot give you with the same confidence is the V90's own pack size: the 11.6 kWh and 31 to 36 mile figures in wide circulation belong to the pre-2022 car and are being recycled for the newer one, and Volvo's published 14.7 kWh usable is stated for the V90's siblings rather than for the V90 itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhich changes our estimate of the hours and nothing about the purchase, because charge rate comes from the supply and the onboard charger while pack size only sets how long it runs. A bigger cable cannot change this, because the limit sits in the car rather than the lead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHours, on the best figures available\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower drawn at home\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eEmpty to full, 14.7 kWh battery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRange added per hour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType 2 to Type 2, 16A at 3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.7 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 hours 30 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 13 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThree pin from a 13A socket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3 kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 hours 15 mins\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eabout 8 miles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTimes below are computed from the pack size and the power drawn with 13 per cent allowed for charging losses.
