Overview
The XC60 Recharge is on more UK drives than any other Volvo plug-in hybrid, and the question that comes up most is not which cable but how fast the car will take it.
The answer changed partway through production. Cars up to 2021 have a 3.7kW onboard AC charger, and a 16A Type 2 lead covers that completely. From 2022 the larger 18.8kWh battery arrived alongside a 6.4kW charger, and reaching that needs a 32A lead.
Either way the battery is small by electric-car standards, so a full charge is a couple of hours rather than a night. What matters more is having a lead long enough to reach without stretching.
Which cable to choose
- Type 2 to Type 2. 5m covers most home wallboxes on an XC60-sized drive. 10m if the charger is on the far wall or you top up in public bays.
- 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.

Which lead depends on the model year
Cars up to 2021 take 3.7kW, so a 16amp lead is everything they will use. From 2022 the 18.8kWh battery brought a 6.4kW charger, and that needs a 32amp lead to deliver in full.
-
Three-phase buys nothing here
No Volvo plug-in hybrid can use 22kW. The three-phase lead is the wrong product for this car.
-
A short charge either way
The battery is a fraction of an electric car's, so even the 16amp lead finishes a full charge in a few hours.
-
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.
