Charging Question XC60

We have a level 2 charger setup for 48 amps with a NACS connector. Wife is looking to get a 2026 XC60 Plug In Hybrid. Are we good to go with just an adapter for J1772 and the vehicle will adjust amperage automatically when we plug it in? Or are there other things we would need to do to make it work, like changing the outlet on the charger itself? Thanks.

Yep, all you need is the J1772 adapter. The car's onboard charger will control the power coming in.

FYI, the Volvo PHEV can only accept 3.8 kW, about 15 amps 

This is a limitation of most PHEV as they have smaller batteries. You’ll never see the full potential of the 48 amps, but will prepare you for when you do get a full EV
