Overview
The EX90 carries one of the largest batteries Volvo has put in a road car, and that changes how much the cable you pick actually matters.
With a battery near 111kWh, a 32A Type 2 lead at 7.4kW takes most of a night to go from low to full. A 16A lead at 3.6kW does not finish the job inside an off-peak window, so on this car the cheaper lead is a false economy.
The onboard AC charger is rated at 11kW, which only matters on three phases. If the property has a three-phase supply, the 22kW cable is one of the few cases where the extra outlay repays itself.
Which cable to choose
- Type 2 to Type 2. 10m is the sensible default on a car this size. 5m works only if the wallbox is right beside the charge port, which sits on the rear flank.
- Type 2 to 3-pin. A Mode 2 lead for a household socket. Slow, and not intended as your main charger, but worth having in the boot.
Every cable we sell is CE and TUV certified, IP55 rated against British weather, and carries a two-year warranty.

A big battery rewards the 32A lead
At around 111kWh, a 7.4kW charge rate uses most of an overnight window. A 16A lead at 3.6kW will not get there.
-
One of the few cars where three-phase earns its keep
If the property has a genuine three-phase supply, the 11kW onboard charger and the 22kW lead together cut hours off a full charge.
-
Charge port is on the rear flank
Measure from the wallbox to the rear quarter, not the front. A 5m lead can come up short on a drive laid out for a smaller car.
-
Certified and weather rated
CE and TUV certified, IP55 rated against British weather, and carries a two-year warranty.

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.
