Considering the XC90 Recharge but the recharge time of 5 hours - is a really big negative - in doing further research the Volvo website says with two phase charging the total charge time is 3 hours. Does anyone use two phase charging in the U.S.?

    Two phase charging exist in Europe. Almost all European manufacturers allow for two phase charging (Volvo, Mercedes, VW, Porsche) - it allows for charging faster than the typical level 2 , but of course far slower than level 3. It is a legitimate question as it concerns charging electric cars, and charging infrastructure.

    • I have been amazed at the response - many people like you basically said something to the effect of : who cares it’s a stupid question - just plug it in and go. . . Duh . . .

    Some people argues against the existence of two phase charging - these people were saddest.

    And some people explained (thank you) what two phase charging is and how it works, and also confirmed it’s not available in the U.S.

    This is still a relevant question : it involves electric cars and charging and charging infrastructure.

    But the amount of people downvoting me and insulting me for even asking the question has been eye opening.

    The very value of Reddit is that people asked questions and sometimes knowledgeable people answers those questions, which is valuable for future people . . . . That’s one of the very fundamental reasons why Reddit is valuable.

    But many of you would prefer questions aren’t asked. Hilariously wrong answers get upvoted, comments that do not seek to answer the question get upvoted . . . . Legitimate answers get down voted.

    I have been on Reddit for over 15 years. It sad that it has descends into a juvenile sophomoric moronic space.

    I was going to delete my question, but as two phase chafing is a thing particularly in the UK - I will leave it up to you . . . Otherwise I am taking a break from Reddit.
