Tesla Wall Connector & Volvo XC60 T8 Hybrid?

[Andy M]

My wife takes delivery of a new Volvo XC60 T8 Hybrid tomorrow, does anybody know if we can use our Tesla Wall Connector to charge it?

You should be able to, but let us know when you plug it in.

I'll quote myself from the Polestar thread:

For those interested, I just learned that a Tesla wall charger will charge a Polestar 2 and other Type 2 cars.

Apparently the second dip switch in the charger controls the ability to charge other cars, it needs to be in the "down" position to work on non-tesla vehicles.
The manual says this about that switch :



I've just posted this here as I was looking for a Type 2 charger, and the Tesla charger remains quite cheap (especially with the 7.5m cable) and has a slender base, so it seems like a decent option for the Polestar 2 as well?

Tl;Dr : yes, they are. Just find the undocumented dip switch.

I've flipped the switch on mine and nothing seems to have changed to charge the Tesla either.

I believe it does work, however I wasn't able to test it properly as a family member accidentally drove into the cable and has written off our Tesla charger.

I'll update once I have it replaced.
