Electric Volvos such as the XC40 allows the car to set the charging speed.

For level 2 charging it can go from 6 amps to 48 amps.

Charging speed can be set in your centre display. To adjust the charging amp limit, click the gear icon on the center touchscreen > select Charging > press the plus or minus sign to change the amperage limit for charging. Just make sure to set it to 24 amps or less for charging on a dryer circuit.

 

Since Volvos allows charge rate adjustment from the car, just like Teslas, all Splitvolt splitter switch models and Splitvolt charging cables could be used. Your needs depend on

  1. what is the dryer socket type?

  2. what is the charging cable’s plug type?
