Technical Specifications
| Plug Type | Max. Power | Battery Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Type 2 (Mennekes) | 3.7 kW (AC) | 10 kWh |
Charging Options and Charging Time
The Volvo S60 supports a maximum of 3.7 kW AC charging. This means that even when connected to more powerful charging stations, the vehicle will charge at a rate of up to 3.7 kW. Here are the different charging options and the corresponding times:
| Charging Station Type | Power Supply | Max. Power | Charging Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mobile station (2.3 kW) | 230V / 1x10A | 2.3 kW | 4h 20min |
| 1-phase 16A (3.7 kW) | 230V / 1x16A | 3.7 kW | 2h 45min |
| 1-phase 25A (5.8 kW)* | 230V / 1x25A | 3.7 kW* | 2h 45min |
| 1-phase 32A (7.4 kW)* | 230V / 1x32A | 3.7 kW* | 2h 45min |
| 3-phase 16A (11 kW)* | 3x230V / 16A | 3.7 kW* | 2h 45min |
| 3-phase 25A (17 kW)* | 3x230V / 25A | 3.7 kW* | 2h 45min |
| 3-phase 32A (22 kW)* | 3x230V / 32A | 3.7 kW* | 2h 45min |
* Maximum power is limited by the vehicle
Charging Cables
The Volvo S60 uses a Type 2 (Mennekes) connector. The car supports single-phase charging up to 3.7 kW, which means you can use both single-phase and three-phase cables – higher-rated cables will not speed up charging but are fully compatible.
Stationary Charging Station (Wallbox)
Stationary charging stations with higher output than 3.7 kW will not increase the charging speed of the Volvo S60, but they can be useful if you plan to use other electric vehicles in the future. Possible variants include:
- 3.7 kW (1 phase / 16A)
- 7.4 kW (1 phase / 32A)
- 11 kW (3 phases / 16A)
- 22 kW (3 phases / 32A)
Electrical Panel and Future Compatibility
Most household electrical panels support 16A / 3.7 kW without problems. However, if you have three-phase power, it is a good idea to invest in an 11 kW wallbox – this way you will be prepared for a future EV with higher charging power.
Mobile Charging Station for Volvo S60
A mobile charging station is a practical and economical solution for charging the Volvo S60 from a standard socket. With a power output of 2.3 to 3.7 kW, this type of charger provides a full charge in approximately 3 to 4 hours. It is important to use appropriate electrical installation and extension cables to avoid overloads.
