The V60 T6 Recharge is quoted at up to 54 miles of WLTP electric range and the T8 at up to 37, from the same 18.8 kWh nominal pack, because the T8 puts more of it through a bigger petrol engine and heavier running gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNeither figure changes the cable. Both cars carry 14.7 kWh usable and both are limited to the same charge rate, so the decision below is identical whichever you have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e3.7 kW at a British house, and Volvo says so\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe limit comes from Volvo rather than from us. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a genuine disagreement in print about this car specifically, and it is worth knowing which side to believe. One outlet states the V60 has the 6.4 kW charger as standard and will fill on a 7.4 kW home wallbox in three hours. That cannot be true if 6.4 kW needs two phases, and the figures that do hold together are the quieter ones: roughly two and a half hours from a 3.7 kW wall box and six from a three pin socket, on 14.7 kWh usable. The ceiling is the car, so a heavier cable finishes at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow long a full charge takes\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\u003eHours are worked from battery size against power drawn, plus a 13 per cent allowance for what is lost as heat, rounded to fifteen minutes. 14.7 kWh usable from an 18.8 kWh nominal pack, a figure Carbuyer and Volvo's own spec sheet agree on independently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no rapid charging on this one, and no socket that could offer it.
