I'm using a clothes dryer outlet adapter to connect to my Volvo XC40 Recharge charging cable. I set the 'Current Limit (amps)" setting to 24. It charges at a rate of 15 miles per hour.
My electrician says, "It is safe to go to 24 amps, fyi. You will be good. 20 will work fine with that adapter. You can go 80% of the load, which is 24 amps."
Volvo XC40 Recharge EV doesn’t have an AM radio, but you can get AM radio like WBZ-AM via apps like iHeartRadio and TuneIn.
First at-home charge.
I used the supplied Volvo charger to connect to the standard plug in my garage.
“Domestic Outlet/Home Charging (Level 1):
A standard three-prong outlet with 110V/120V doesn't charge an electric vehicle at great speeds, but it's good for plugging your car in overnight so that it's charged in the morning. With level one charging, you can usually expect about 24 hours for a full charge to be complete.”
8 hrs = 24-40 miles. At best 5 mph.
I wasn’t ready to buy or lease an electric car, so I subscribed to one. 
Volvo lets you subscribe to a car at a fixed price without a long-term commitment.
That was perfect for me because while looking for a new car, I wasn’t ready to commit to an electric vehicle, but when I found out that I could subscribe to a car with a minimum five-month term, I decided to do it.
We got a 2023 Volvo XC40 Recharge TWIN AWD Ultimate. It’s all-electric. The subscription includes insurance, tire coverage, dents and dings coverage up to $1,000, maintenance, and 24/7 roadside service.
After five months, you can return the car, buy the car, or continue leasing it for a total of two years.
Now begins my personal experience with owning an electric car.
