The Volvo Home Charging Bundle: Charge Smarter At Home
With the Volvo Home Charging Bundle, drivers in Midlothian, VA, and beyond can have a Level 2 charger professionally installed at a competitive price. While it's possible to replenish your car's battery at home using a standard wall outlet, this can be more time-consuming and less energy-efficient. Qmerit, a partner of Volvo Cars, makes charging infinitely easier by establishing a Volvo home charging station right in your abode. The process starts when you lease or purchase a model at Volvo Cars Midlothian – at your request, we can connect you with a Qmerit representative to book your home installation.
In the following guide, we'll cover what to expect from the appointment and other tips for making the most of your charging experience. With Volvo Cars Midlothian and the professionals at Qmerit by your side, acclimating to the EV and PHEV lifestyle feels as seamless as can be.
What's Included in the Volvo Home Charging Bundle?
The Volvo Home Charging Bundle includes the following:
- ChargePoint® Home Flex co-branded Volvo Level 2 charger (externally mounted wallbox) and breaker box rated for up to 60 amps.
- Professional installation, including parts and labor, by a certified and insured electrician.
- 3-year Charging Hardware Limited Warranty1
If the jargon is overwhelming, never fear; one of the benefits of choosing Qmerit is excellent customer service. You can always chat with a representative or your installation professional to discuss any questions about the process. Please don't hesitate to contact our dealership for more information about charging your Volvo model. We're highly knowledgeable about Volvo automobiles and aim to support our customers long after they've driven their vehicle home.
How Does the Volvo Home Charging Bundle Work?
The Qmerit Volvo Home Charging Bundle installation process unfolds in six simple steps:
- Handpick your favorite EV or PHEV Volvo SUV, with options ranging from the compact Volvo EX30 EV to the three-row Volvo XC90 PHEV.
- Speak with the sales team at Volvo Cars Midlothian about bundling your purchase with a Qmerit product and installation.
- Fill out a questionnaire with one of our team members about your vehicle and home.
- Schedule a site visit with a Qmerit rep so a certified technician can evaluate whether any additional work is required to ensure a safe, efficient installation.
- Approve any costs associated with additional work (if applicable) and schedule your installation.
- Enjoy at-home charging with your new ChargePoint® Home Flex for Volvo vehicles!
You can rest assured that you'll be receiving a quality product and installation process, as all Qmerit technicians must meet the following requirements:
- Demonstrate professional licensing and insurance coverage
- Pass a background check
- Adhere to the Volvo brand's high standards for quality
- Complete an electric vehicle charging training program
Qmerit is dedicated to transparency, and they'll handle the necessary permits and safety inspections. Volvo Cars trusts Qmert for their quality and efficiency, two qualities that also define the Scandinavian automaker's approach to charging. Let's dive into which models are compatible with the Volvo Home Charging Bundle, and then take a look at their charging specs with Level 2 equipment.
Which Volvo Models Are Compatible?
Here is the current lineup of all-electric and plug-in hybrid Volvo automobiles:
- Volvo EX30
- Volvo EX40
- Volvo XC60 Plug-In Hybrid
- Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid
- Volvo EX90
There are three levels of automotive charging:
- Level 1: Your standard wall outlet
- Level 2: Increase charging power that you can access at home via an installed wallbox or find at public stations
- Level 3: The most powerful option, also known as DC fast charging, which is commonly found at public charging stations
All Volvo EV and PHEV SUVs can replenish their batteries using any of these levels, but a Level 2 Volvo Plug-In Hybrid and EV charger is what you'll get from this bundle.
Volvo Home Charger Specs & Charging Speeds
| Volvo EX30 | Volvo EX40 | Volvo XC60 PHEV | Volvo XC90 PHEV | Volvo EX90 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 2 Charging Time (0% - 100%) | 8 hr2 | 8 hr2 | 5 hr2 | 5 hr2 | 10 - 11 hr2 |
| Max. EV Range | 261 mi3 | 296 mi4 | 35 mi4 | 32 mi4 | 305 mi5 |
Why Choose Home Charging for Your Volvo Automobile?
Access to at-home Level 2 charging can make or break your PHEV/BEV experience. While a Level 1 charger, the standard, everyday outlet that you plug your appliances into, can be useful occasionally, it's often not efficient enough for daily driving.
The difference between Level 1 and Level 2 charging speeds is astronomical. We highly recommend getting a Level 2 Volvo wallbox installed if you are serious about integrating an EV or PHEV into your lifestyle. While Level 2 equipment won't necessarily be as swift as DC fast charging, which typically takes 30 minutes or less,2 it's ideal for overnight charging. Many commuters fall into a routine of coming home, plugging in their models, getting a good eight hours of sleep, and waking up to a full battery, ready to take on the day.
If this sounds like how you want to live your life, then we urge you to consider signing up for a Qmerit consultation. A Level 2 wallbox right in your driveway, garage, or elsewhere on your property, will revolutionize your EV/PHEV routine.

Professional Installation by Qmerit
Whether you live near Richmond, VA, or out of state, installing your ChargePoint® Home Flex for Volvo automobiles is a quick and straightforward process. After you've submitted your questionnaire, a Qmerit representative will contact you to schedule a site visit.
The technician will begin with a brief inspection of your at-home electrical system and propose the most optimal location for a charger. Qmerit employees also handle the administrative side of the installation, confirming that you have the proper permits and that your home is up to code. A Level 2 charger may require more permissions than your average household appliance.
When all is said and done, the technician will deliver a quote with itemized expenses and wait for your go-ahead. If all goes smoothly, they may complete the installation on the spot. Under some circumstances, they may also need to follow up to schedule the installation on a later date.

Can I use the Volvo home charger with a plug-in hybrid?
Yes, you can use the Volvo home charger with Volvo plug-in hybrid models. These types of vehicles offer the best of both worlds, using gasoline and electricity for power.
