Volvo Car Malaysia (VCM) has announced the arrival of the brand’s new Volvo Wallbox for both their battery electric (BEV) and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) vehicles.
Featuring the Swede marque’s “signature minimalist Scandinavian aesthetic”, this dedicated wallbox charger can now be purchased at all Volvo dealerships nationwide with a retail price of RM3,990 that is inclusive of a three-year hardware warranty.
As for its installation, VCM has partnered with EV Connection (EVC) to offer professional installation packages, with prices starting from RM1,600.
Up to 11 kW with App Integration
Some specifications for this minimalist Volvo Wallbox include up to 11 kW of power output on a three-phase installation via a Type 2 cable, an IP55 protection level, plus two RFID cards as standard for seamless shared access.
Users can also access this charger via the Volvo Cars App through a cloud connection through WiFi, ethernet, or an optional SIM card. This means that users can remotely monitor charging status, start or stop charging sessions, view charging records, and even set charging time schedules to optimise energy usage and rate.
Another key feature for the Volvo Wallbox is that it can interface with an external energy metre so that users can charge their cars using excess solar power.
“Our commitment is to provide support to our customers at every single touchpoint of their ownership journey. The new Volvo Wallbox is fully integrated with the Volvo Cars App, which gives our drivers straightforward, intuitive control over not only their cars but also their entire home charging setup, directly from their smartphones,” said Sun Qian, head of commercial offer APeC at Volvo Cars.
