- Volvo EX90 drivers can immediately access Plug & Charge functionality across participating U.S. charging networks.
- More than 35,000 charging points, including Superchargers and IONNA stations, are accessible through Volvo’s charging ecosystem.
Volvo Cars announced on June 18 that it is introducing Plug & Charge functionality in the United States to make public EV charging easier and more convenient for vehicle owners. The new capability will be available across the Volvo EX90 and Volvo EX60 electric vehicle lineup, reducing the number of steps required to begin charging at compatible public charging stations.
With Plug & Charge, drivers can connect their vehicle to a participating charging station and immediately begin charging without opening a mobile application, swiping a payment card, or manually initiating a charging session. The feature is designed to streamline the public charging experience and provide a more seamless process for EV users.
The functionality is available immediately for Volvo EX90 owners in the United States. For Volvo EX60 customers, Plug & Charge will become available when vehicle deliveries commence in the U.S. later in 2026. The rollout aligns with Volvo Cars’ efforts to improve charging accessibility and convenience for its electric vehicle customers.
Drivers will gain access to more than 35,000 charging stations across participating charging networks throughout the country. The charging ecosystem includes major infrastructure providers such as Superchargers and IONNA locations, enabling broader charging coverage for Volvo electric vehicle users.
Charging stations can be located through the vehicle’s integrated Google Automotive System as well as the Volvo Cars mobile application. This integration allows drivers to identify available charging locations more efficiently while supporting a more connected ownership experience.
