That bracket in the middle is the most useful thing any manufacturer has written about any car on this site, and it settles the cable question outright.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo the car draws 3.7 kW on your driveway whether it left the factory with the old charger or the new one. A bigger cable cannot change this, because the limit sits in the car rather than the lead. A 16A cable delivers every watt of that, and the difference in price is better spent on getting the length right.\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\u003eThose times come from dividing the pack by the delivered power and adding 13 per cent for losses, then rounding to the quarter hour. The pack is 18.8 kWh nominal and 14.7 kWh usable, and it is worth being clear about which number is which: a lot of sources quote 18.8 as usable, which overstates charge times by about a quarter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no 7.4 kW row and no 22 kW row on this table, and if you see one elsewhere for this car it is wrong. Neither is reachable from a single phase supply, so a table that lists them is describing a charge the car cannot accept.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo part of this car accepts DC, so rapid charging is off the table entirely. Charging happens through the Type 2 socket or it does not happen, and that makes the cable the one accessory the car genuinely cannot manage without.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich length for an XC60 Recharge\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe charging flap is on the front nearside wing. Volvo does not publish this itself, but UK reviewers describing right hand drive cars agree on the nearside front, and it matches the rest of Volvo's plug-in range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe XC60 is 4.71 metres. Nose in with the charge point on the left and 5 metres is comfortable.
