Volvo EX30 Twin Motor Performance 22 kW EV charger: which one fits best?
The Volvo EX30 Twin Motor Performance charges at home with up to 22 kW of alternating current. How fast depends on the trim. The Ultra trim has the 22 kW onboard charger as standard. The Plus trim charges three-phase at 11 kW. So check your trim before you choose a charge point. The 22 kW version needs a three-phase supply, which means three live wires into your home instead of one. Volvo renamed the version P8 AWD in early 2026, so a current configurator shows that name instead. Looking for a different model? Browse our overview of every Volvo EV charger page.
For the Volvo EX30 Twin Motor Performance, we recommend a 22 kW EV charger. A 22 kW charge point does need a three-phase supply of 32 A per phase. Without three phases the car is capped at 7.4 kW, whatever the onboard charger can do.

Which EV charger suits the Volvo EX30 Twin Motor Performance?
Choosing a Volvo EX30 charger starts with your home supply, not with the car. A 22 kW charge point draws 32 A on each of three phases. That is exactly what the Ultra trim is built for. Three phases at 16 A each give you 11 kW instead. On a single-phase 32 A supply the EX30 tops out at 7.4 kW. A full charge then takes around 10 to 11 hours.
So check your meter cupboard first. Which Volvo EX30 wallbox fits best follows from what you find there. With three phases, go for 22 kW. Without them, a 7.4 kW charge point is your realistic ceiling, and the 22 kW onboard charger adds nothing. Is your car the Plus trim, or does it simply have the 11 kW onboard charger? Then an 11 kW charge point is the right fit.
At 22 kW you also get a wide choice of models with a MID meter. That is a certified kWh meter inside the charge point. It measures the electricity you charge at home separately from your household use. The choice of EV chargers with a MID meter is broad at this power level. You give up nothing else to get one. App control is available at every power level.
Browse all 22 kW EV chargers to compare models side by side. For the Plus trim, the 11 kW EV chargers are the better fit. For the wider picture, start at our home charging overview.

How long does the Volvo EX30 Twin Motor Performance take to charge?
Volvo EX30 22 kW charging at home fills the 65 kWh battery in about 4 hours. At 11 kW the same charge takes about 8 hours. These figures include charging losses, so they run longer than battery size divided by power. For anyone charging on a dynamic energy contract in a short off-peak hour, the 22 kW option is a real advantage. On a public DC rapid charger the car goes from 10 to 80 percent in around 30 minutes. The peak is 153 kW. WLTP range is up to 460 km, depending on wheel size. That is the Twin Motor Performance figure. The renamed P8 AWD is rated 445 to 450 km, and the Single Motor versions go further still.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Volvo EX30 Twin Motor Performance need a three-phase supply?
For the full 22 kW, yes. Three phases at 32 A each deliver the 22 kW the Ultra trim is built for. On a single-phase 32 A supply the car charges at 7.4 kW instead. A full charge then takes around 10 to 11 hours. So the supply in your home decides your charging speed, not the car.
Why does a MID meter matter for this Volvo?
A MID meter is a certified kWh meter built into the charge point. It records exactly how much electricity you charge at home, apart from your household use. That keeps your charging costs visible. At 22 kW you can choose from a wide range of models that include one.
