Volvo V2L – which models can supply power?

Volvo has officially documented V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) on the EX30, EX30 Cross Country and EX60. On the EX30 it depends on model year, charger variant and software version. Volvo has not documented V2L on the C40, EC40, XC40, EX40, EX90 and ES90. Below you can see what applies to your Volvo before you order equipment.

V2L compatibility for Volvo

Status as of 19 October 2026, according to Volvo Cars' own release notes, owner's manuals and press releases.

V2L means the car can supply 230 V power to external electrical appliances. This is not the same as V2H (power to the home's electrical installation) or V2G (power back to the grid). A Volvo having V2L does not mean it has been tested with V2LPower's adapters or car-to-house solutions.

Important for Volvo EX30 owners

The Volvo EX30 can supply power via V2L when the car has the right hardware and software. On compatible EX30 models, the V2L function comes with software version 2.1.2, which Volvo released on 25 August 2026 and is rolling out as an over-the-air update approximately three weeks later. According to Volvo, EX30 cars from model years 2024 and 2025 with a 22 kW on-board AC charger currently cannot receive the update. So check the car's model year, charger variant and software version before you order equipment. Volvo states that V2L requires a Volvo V2L adapter, which is sold separately.

How to check your Volvo

1. Software version: On the EX30, you can see the installed version on the centre display under the car's settings → System → Software update.
2. Update: Over-the-air updates are enabled in the Volvo Cars app (car tab → Car software → Over-the-air updates). This cannot be done from the car's display. The car downloads the update itself, but you start the installation yourself and can schedule it up to 24 hours ahead. Follow Volvo's battery level requirements during installation.
3. Variant: The model year and on-board charger (11 kW or 22 kW) are stated in the car's documents and in the Volvo Cars app. If in doubt, ask your Volvo dealer.
4. V2L on the EX60: Plug Volvo's V2L adapter into the charging port and select Advanced settings → Transfer energy on the centre display. Start the transfer with the button on the adapter.
5. V2L on the EX30: Volvo has not yet published manual instructions for the EX30's V2L settings. See Volvo's release notes for software version 2.1.2, or contact Volvo.
6. Official updates: See Volvo's release notes on volvocars.com/dk under Support → your model → Software updates.

If you are unsure what suits your Volvo, contact V2LPower before you order.

Volvo without factory V2L

According to Volvo's documentation, the C40, XC40 and EX40 do not have V2L from the factory. On these model pages, V2LPower instead shows an external converter solution for car-to-house use as well as charging cables. See the products under each model.

Charging

V2LPower also offers charging solutions for home charging, including go-e Charger CORE and PRO, which can be used for Volvo and most other electric cars with a Type 2 plug. See the full range of chargers at EV chargers.
