Volvo Open Charge

You can now access a public charging service for heavy-duty vehicles, designed to make charging more predictable, reliable and simple – and extend your daily range.

Powering the transformation of an industry

Volvo Open Charge is a service that gives you access to a continuously-growing network of reliable, quality-assured public charging locations suitable for your electric trucks. The service provides a map which directs you to the charging locations, which can then be accessed through either Volvo Connect online or the Truck Charging app. Real-time information about the charger’s availability is also displayed.

To find out if Volvo Open Charge is available where you are, you can either contact your dealer or browse the Volvo Connect support site, under "Offered charging services" in the FAQ.

You can download the Truck Charging app in available markets from the App Store or the Google Play Store - search to see if it's available where you are.

A truly open charging solution

Multi-brand fleets can be charged at Volvo Open Charge locations – meaning that it’s really open for the trucking industry.

Using it couldn’t be simpler. Either tap the charging card – available from your Volvo Trucks dealer – or use the app to start charging. And as mentioned, real-time info about the status of the charging location is supplied, helping you manage your day better.

The sessions are paid for with one monthly invoice, which lists all charging sessions, regardless of who operates the charging location.

Finding a spot

The map shows the locations of all of the charging locations. If you tap on any of the locations that are marked on the map, helpful information about it will be displayed.

In the app you’ll also be able to find your full charging history. For each charging session you carry out, the time, location, cost and energy consumed will be listed historically.

Find, book and charge

One of the functions available in Volvo Open Charge is Book, through which you can secure a slot at a public charger. This function has been designed to reduce the risk of eventual waiting times at charging stations, as the fleet becomes increasingly electrified: boosting productivity as a result.

The Book function is part of a seamless experience in which finding, booking and charging is presented conveniently, in one place. What’s more, since it is available via the Truck Charging app – developed by Volvo, but open to all – it’s even available for drivers of other truck brands. Book is now being rolled out: see Volvo Open Charge in Volvo Connect for details.

How to start using Volvo Open Charge

Contact your Volvo Trucks dealer to receive a Volvo charging card. They will also be able to give you a run-through of the service, prepare you for using it, introduce you to the app and set up your subscription.

Volvo Open Charge is a service which uses third party chargers. Volvo Trucks is not responsible for the management of chargers in the network. In case of issues with a specific charger, contact the charger operator.
