Overview
The EX30 is the small Volvo that undercut most of the range on price without giving up much of the useful part. It charges through a Type 2 socket with an 11kW onboard charger.
Eleven kilowatts needs three phases of electricity, and British houses almost never have them. On a normal home wallbox the EX30 will pull 7.4kW and be full by morning, so a 32A single-phase lead is the sensible ceiling for most owners. The three-phase cable earns its keep in two situations only: you have three-phase at the property, or you genuinely live off 22kW public posts.
Choosing your lead
- Type 2 to Type 2. The cable you will use every day, at home and in public. 5m if the charger is beside your parking space, 10m if it is on the far wall or you rely on public bays.
- Type 2 to 3-pin. A Mode 2 lead for a household socket. At 2.3kW it is slow and not a main charger, but it is a useful thing to have in the boot.
Every cable we sell is CE and TUV certified, IP55 rated against British weather, and carries a two-year warranty. Most EX30 owners want the 7.4kW single-phase lead.
Every lead we stock for Volvo is listed on our Volvo charging cables page.

First class service
First class service. Ordered 15m cable and it was delivered next day. Minor hiccup in that the accompanying bag was missing. Quick email to Jake at EV Cable Hub and the bag arrived next working day. 1st class product and even better customer service. Thank you.
