Where can my 2021 Volvo XC40 Recharge charge at Tesla Superchargers?
Yes. Volvo vehicles have had official Supercharger access since October 2024. You charge at any Supercharger marked “open to non-Tesla” using the Tesla app.
The 2021 XC40 Recharge has a CCS1 port. At NACS stalls you need a NACS-to-CCS1 DC adapter: the Volvo NACS Fast Charging Adapter (32419487) ($230). $230 (CA$310) at retailers. Included standard with MY2025 EX90, EX40 and EC40. EX30 buyers must purchase. Adapter details. Magic Dock sites (green) need no adapter at all.
At the stall: the 2021 charge port is driver-side rear. Back in like a Tesla; the cable reaches from your own stall's post. Expect about 150 kW at a V3 stall (the car is rated 200 kW; the 500 A cable and adapter cap it). Backs in like a Tesla. 2021-23 cars peak 150 kW, 2024 (82 kWh) 200 kW; expect 150-200 kW on V3.
How to charge: download the Tesla app, choose “Charge Your Non-Tesla”, add a payment card, pick the site and stall number, plug in, then tap Start. Older V2 Superchargers (grey on the map) only work with Teslas.
- Renamed EX40 for 2025.
- ES90 sedan was pulled from US plans (tariffs) and is not listed.
- Volvo Cars app handles payment; Tesla app optional.
Good to know about Superchargers
- Only Superchargers marked 'open to NACS partners' (V3, V3+ and V4 stalls with the Tesla app 'Charge Your Non-Tesla' flow) are usable by non-Tesla cars. Older V2 stalls are Tesla-only. A small number of V3 'Magic Dock' sites have a built-in CCS1 adapter and work for any CCS1 car regardless of brand agreement.
- V3 and V3+ dispensers run roughly 400-500 V and top out at 250 kW. 800 V-class cars (Hyundai/Kia/Genesis E-GMP, Porsche Taycan/Macan, Audi Q6/A6 e-tron, Lucid, Mercedes CLA, Cadillac Escalade IQ/GMC Hummer/Silverado EV in some modes) charge slower there unless they have an on-board boost converter. V4 cabinets (500 kW, up to 1,000 V) started going live in September 2025 and remove that penalty.
- V3 cables are short and sized for Tesla's rear-left port. Cars with a front or passenger-side port often have to park nose-in or across two stalls. V4 posts have longer cables.
- Adapters: only a DC 'NACS-to-CCS1' adapter approved by the vehicle maker is covered by that maker's warranty; Tesla's app will still let unapproved adapters charge, but the OEM may deny warranty claims. AC 'J1772-to-NACS' adapters are a different product and are irrelevant for Superchargers.
