This page about electric car charging stations will energize you with everything you need to know about life with an EV or PHEV. Electrification is the way of the future with personal mobility. However, we still hear about customers' reservations regarding range, charge times, and costs. Simply put, these old concerns are merely that: old issues. EV technology has never been better, and the national charge network makes traveling a worry-free experience. Read on to learn more about electric car charging stations, EV and PHEV technology, and the benefits you'll see while also protecting the environment.

Life Is E-Z When You Have an EV

People are used to the routine of driving an internal combustion engine vehicle, including refueling it when necessary and changing the oil every so often. Surprisingly to some, it's easier to own and maintain an EV than a fossil-fuel-powered vehicle. Let's take a look at some key information, so you can feel like you're the master of the machine:


  • No more engine! In a fully electric vehicle, you exchange an engine for a battery-and-motor setup. This comes with many advantages for drivers. First off, your car will produce no emissions. It won't need gas, so your wallet will no longer be tied to fluctuating gas prices. An added plus is that you won't need to deal with oil changes as well. Generally, EVs are low-maintenance and can be long-lasting. In a plug-in hybrid (PHEV), you'll utilize an engine, motor, and battery. Fun fact: the bigger the kWh value, the more powerful the battery.
  • Hybrid vs. Plug-In Hybrid We've already briefly described a plug-in hybrid vehicle. Like an EV, it will need to be charged externally. It also has the benefit of a limited-time all-electric range that you can use to complete chores without gasoline. However, there is another electrified option. All Volvo vehicles in the 2023 lineup that are not EVs or plug-in hybrids are mild hybrid vehicles. These don't need to be externally charged, utilizing regenerative braking instead for a mild boost to fuel economy.
  • Regenerative braking is a self-charging feature on both hybrid and PHEV vehicles. It recaptures energy that a car might otherwise lose in the process of braking. In almost all cases, regen-braking strength can be adjusted to suit your driving preferences. The strongest setting will allow for what many call "one-pedal driving." In other words, regen-braking is so strong that when you let off the accelerator, the car will slow down as if you are firmly pressing the brakes. You can also set regen-braking to mild, mimicking the feel of a gas engine vehicle.

EV technology is cutting edge, with some vehicles being able to recharge almost fully while you're having lunch. In the next section, we'll discuss costs, public vs. private electric car charging stations, as well as rules of thumb regarding electric car charging time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you charge an electric car?

You can charge your vehicle at home through a Level 2 wallbox or even an ordinary outlet. You can also charge your Volvo model at a public Level III charging station. When you buy a Volvo vehicle, you also get complimentary charges from 250-kWh stations and a subsequent one-year Electrify America Pass+® membership when you utilize the Electrify America® network.1

Can I charge my Volvo car from a regular outlet?

Yes, you can charge a PHEV or Volvo electric vehicle from a standard outlet. However, this process will take a long time and is not recommended for regular use. Instead, we can connect you with the Volvo partner Qmerit® to install a Level 2 wallbox that delivers 240 volts of power. This electric car home charging station allows you to charge your PHEV from 0 to 100% in five hours and your EV in eight.

How much does it cost to charge a Volvo EV at a power station?

When you purchase a new Volvo vehicle, such as a Volvo XC40 Recharge, you get three years of complimentary DC fast charging from Electrify America®, followed by a 12-month membership in the Electrify America Pass+® membership program.1 We suspect that in three years, electric charging stations will become even more prevalent around Florida, potentially lowering the price of charging sessions as well.

How long does it take to charge an electric car?

In general, the bigger the battery, the longer it usually takes to charge. Fortunately, the Volvo XC40 Recharge uses the latest fast-charge batteries, which yield an impressive charge time. You can top your vehicle up from 10% to 80% charged in a little under 40 minutes when you utilize a DC fast-charging station. The same vehicle can be charged 0% to 100% over eight hours at home while you're asleep at night.

When you buy a new Volvo XC40 Recharge, does it come with an electric car charger?

Every new electrified Volvo vehicle comes with a Level 1 plug-in portable electric car charger. This device connects your car to a conventional outlet for convenient home charging or can be used when you're away and want to give your car a boost. However, we recommended talking to our staff about the installation of a Level 2 wallbox that will get your SUV ready to go faster.

What is the best charging station for a Volvo car?

We recommend utilizing Electrify America® charging locations if you have a Volvo vehicle. Not only are there thousands of available locations across the company, but new Volvo vehicles come with three years of complimentary charging sessions from this company.1 Volvo automakers are also working on a partnership to add charging stations to Starbucks locations. Ask our team for more information.

How fast is the Volvo Recharge?

There are many Volvo models that are known as "Recharge" models. Some are plug-in hybrids, and some are all-electric vehicles. This, combined with the vehicle's size, plays a large role in how fast it is. For example, a new Volvo XC90 hybrid can go from 0 to 60 mph in exactly five seconds - a pretty impressive feat for a three-row SUV.

Is there free electric car charging in Daytona Beach, FL?

There are dozens of free electric car charging stations scattered around Daytona Beach, FL. In addition, those who purchase a new Volvo vehicle will receive three years of complimentary charging sessions at Electrify America® stations, followed by a one-year membership that offers special rates on charging.1 We also anticipate more charging stations for electric cars will continue to pop up to help empower drivers.
