Doncaster’s Volvo drivers will find a host of new and convenient features designed to make accessing and paying for public charging simpler – all accessible through the Volvo Cars app.

The new service makes struggling to find reliable and seamless public charging points a thing of the past, allowing Volvo drivers access to a significant network of more than 1,000 different charge point operators.

Among the new features in the app is a ‘Plug & Charge’ function, compatible with Volvo Cars’ forthcoming flagship, the fully electric EX90. The feature eliminates complex transactions, providing a hassle-free charging experience.

A remote charging control also allows customers greater flexibility and control, enabling drivers to remotely start and stop charging sessions through the app while going about their weekly chores.

Dan Carnell, Head of Business at Riverside Volvo Doncaster, said: “Here at Riverside Volvo Doncaster, we know a key concern for drivers considering an electric vehicle is the charging infrastructure – so we’re delighted that Volvo Cars has teamed up with Digital Charging Solutions to offer an all-round solution to make the process as easy as possible.
