Is the Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid Self-Charging?

The Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid is not able to be fully self-charged. It contains regenerative braking technology, which helps increase your Volvo XC90 Plug-In Hybrid MPG by having your SUV's motor spin backward and serve as a generator when you slow your vehicle down to a stop. This process harnesses kinetic energy and stores it in a battery as electric energy to be utilized later on in your drive. However, this won't provide your vehicle with as much energy as it needs to access Pure Mode or maximize its MPGe ratings.

For that, you will need to plug your vehicle in. Level 1 and Level 2 charging options are available, although Level 2 charging is much quicker. The team at Weaver Brothers Volvo Cars would be happy to talk to you about getting a wallbox installed in your home simply and easily. In some cases, you can even earn a tax credit for purchasing this equipment.
