Wallboxes & mobile ev car chargers for the Volvo EX30 Twin Motor Performance
The Volvo EX30 Twin Motor Performance charges at home using AC power at a maximum rate of 11 kW. This immediately determines which EV charger makes sense: an EV charger that delivers more than 11 kW will not charge this EX30 any faster, because the vehicle’s onboard charger determines the maximum AC charging power. With a suitable 11 kW EV charger, you can use the vehicle’s full charging capacity. Would you like to compare the options first? View all Volvo EV chargers in our overview.
For the Volvo EX30 Twin Motor Performance, we recommend an EV charger from our range of 11 kW EV chargers.

Which EV charger is suitable for the Volvo EX30 Twin Motor Performance?
Because the EX30 Twin Motor Performance charges at home at a maximum of 11 kW AC, a 3-phase 11 kW EV charger is the logical choice. It can fully charge the vehicle conveniently overnight without you paying for power the car cannot use. A 22 kW EV charger can also be used, but it will not charge this EX30 any faster.
If you need accurate and certified measurement of charging consumption, you should look for an integrated MID meter. This records exactly how many kilowatt-hours have been charged through the EV charger. It is particularly useful when you use the EX30 as a company or lease vehicle and want the home charging costs to be reimbursed by your employer or business. If the EV charger does not have an integrated MID meter, a suitable separate MID-certified energy meter can be installed. In the Netherlands, a MID meter may also be required for participation in the ERE scheme. The ERE scheme is only available in the Netherlands.
| Situation | Recommended EV charger | MID meter | Why? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Smart and future-proof home charging | Easee Charge Up 22 kW | No | Compact and intelligent EV charger with a Type 2 socket. It automatically charges the EX30 at a maximum of 11 kW while remaining suitable for a future electric vehicle with a higher AC charging capacity. A separate MID meter is required for certified consumption measurement. |
| Company car and certified reimbursement | Zaptec Go 2 22 kW | Yes | The integrated MID-certified energy meter accurately records every charging session. This makes the EV charger suitable for a company or lease vehicle and reimbursement of home charging costs. It charges the EX30 at a maximum of 11 kW while also providing capacity for a future vehicle. In the Netherlands, it may also be suitable for ERE registration. |
| Affordable basic solution | Besen 11 kW with Type 2 cable | No | Affordable EV charger with a fixed Type 2 cable that matches the maximum AC charging power of the EX30. Without an integrated MID meter, however, it is less suitable for certified business reimbursement or Dutch ERE registration. |

How long does it take to charge the Volvo EX30 Twin Motor Performance?
Using an 11 kW EV charger, the usable 64 kWh battery can theoretically be charged in just under six hours. When normal charging losses are taken into account, you should allow approximately six to six and a half hours from almost empty to full. If you connect the vehicle in the evening, it will be ready again the following morning with a charged battery.
To use the full 11 kW charging power, you need a 3-phase connection rated at 3 × 16 amps. If only a single-phase connection is available at home, the vehicle normally charges at a maximum of 3.7 kW. A full charge may then take approximately 18 to 20 hours.
On the road, the EX30 charges through a CCS fast-charging connection at up to approximately 153 kW DC. Under favourable conditions, the battery can therefore be charged from 10 to 80% in around 30 minutes. The actual charging speed depends on factors including battery temperature, state of charge and the output of the fast-charging station.
The Volvo EX30 has a Type 2 connection. You need a separate Type 2 charging cable for an EV charger with a socket or when charging at a public charging station without a fixed cable.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Volvo EX30 need a 3-phase connection to charge at 11 kW?
Yes. To use the full AC charging power of 11 kW, you need a 3-phase connection rated at 3 × 16 amps. On a single-phase connection, the EX30 normally charges at a maximum of 3.7 kW. A qualified electrician can check whether your electrical connection is suitable for 3-phase charging.
Why is a MID meter useful for the Volvo EX30?
A MID meter is a certified kWh meter that records charging consumption accurately and transparently. This is particularly useful when you use the EX30 as a company or lease vehicle and want the home charging costs to be reimbursed by your employer or business. In the Netherlands, a MID meter may also be required for ERE registration. The ERE scheme is only available in the Netherlands. If the EV charger does not have an integrated MID meter, a separate MID-certified energy meter can be installed.
Can I charge the EX30 with a 22 kW EV charger?
Yes. A 22 kW EV charger can charge the Volvo EX30 without any problem, but the version described here will still charge at a maximum of 11 kW. A 22 kW EV charger therefore does not reduce the charging time. It may still be useful if another electric vehicle with a higher AC charging capacity will be connected later.
Should the EV charger be installed by an electrician?
Yes. We always recommend having the connection completed by a qualified electrician. This is safer and may also be important for your insurance coverage. You can arrange the installation directly through our installation service.
