How to Charge an Electric Car: Volvo C40 Recharge

Charging an electric car can be overwhelming. This is a simple guide to what to do, what not to do, and how to get over your fears fast!
I'm joined by Thomas McIntyre Schultz, Product & Technology Communications Volvo Cars USA, to walk us through the process. We discuss:
*What kind of charger most homes have
*What's the difference between a public and home charger
*How charging a Volvo can differ from charging a Tesla or a Nissan
*What type of charging the ‪@VolvoCars‬ C40 Recharge comes with
*How to use a fast charger away from home
*How you can charge your car at Starbucks
If you still have questions, please feel free to ask in the comments.

Thank you so much for this practical advice! I just ordered a C40 a week ago and am continuing my research about what it will mean. This video is helpful!

[@MotorheadMama]

I’m so glad. That’s exactly why I made it! Congrats on the car. 🍾❤️👏

[@AVielot]

Thank you for this video. I was almost too afraid to ask the same questions as you did. Although I'm not ready to purchase an EV, I know I'll be after watching this video.

[@UthameEternal]

The production level of these videos are fantastic. You definitely deserve thousands more subs and views!

[@MotorheadMama]

Thank you! 🙏

She ask him a gotcha and he failed. What’s the most common mistake? NOT PUSHING THE BUTTON TO THE RIGHT! What happens if you forget. I was able to remove the plug without pressing the release button and now I am getting a red LED status when I plug it back in!

[@jaycoffsky8979]

just bought C40 and so far love it. One weak point is I cannot find a owners manual on line and have to use car screen to view -seems like it should be available at reasonable cost to owners, any ideas. thanks

When plugged into a level 1 3 pin home plug and a level 2 32amp charger the display still only shows level 1

Can't we use the charging cable with L2 adapter that comes with the C40 to charge the car normally? Is it not recommended to use that charging cable often?

[@Reddylion]

Nice

[@nuttapornnorakim2868]

Do you have to unlock your cars before removing the charger?
I tried removing the charging port after pressing the release button but the flight flashed green then flash red and I couldn’t remove the port.

[@MotorheadMama]

Yes you usually do. I've had the same problem.
