Overview

The Volvo XC60 Plug-In Hybrid combines beautiful Scandinavian design and innovative technology in a more compact vehicle than the established XC90 PHEV . A touch more range would improve the car for us, but it's clear Volvo are moving towards great electric things. The below guide shows data ranges for the current T6 Recharge, specs will depend on your selected configuration.

Charging time for a Volvo XC60

The table below shows the estimated time to charge your XC60 from empty to full. For rapid charging, we show the time to charge from 20% - 80%, as charging tends to slow outside this range to protect the battery.

Charging method Typically found at Charging time* Range/hour** Empty to full

* Based on Pod Point estimates, charging time can differ based on the ambient temperature, the state of the battery (e.g. empty or half full) and variation in charging rate. Max charging rate may also be limited by the vehicle.
** Range per hour is the number of miles you can expect to get from an hour of charging at the relevant rate.

Connector type and charging rates

You can charge your Volvo XC60 with a Type 2 connector at home, work or at a public charging point.

** Pod Point Confidence Range is the maximum distance we’d be confident driving on electric power between charges. Real range will depend on various factors including driving conditions, personal driving style, outside temperature, heating / air conditioning, etc.

* This metric estimates the environmental impact of driving your electric vehicle based on how the electricity that powers your car is generated. We take the average carbon intensity across the UK grid measured throughout 2021 to calculate the expected grams of CO ₂ emitted per 1 km driven. The actual number will vary by region, when you charge (e.g. carbon intensity is usually lower overnight period) and whether your electricity comes from more renewable sources than the average.
