I ordered one from AliExpress on the 2nd July and arrived this morning. No extra duty or tax to pay. Cost £46.66 delivered.

As far as i know you are paying tax on orders over £139 and delivery service charges are not included

I ordered from AliExpress on the 25th of July and it arrived on the 2nd of August which is very good in my opinion. No additional charges or duty.

Which one for a v90cc?

I can't see that there would be anything different with the charger as the centre console section is identical regardless of the V90 variant. It then just becomes the buyers prerogative as to whether they wish to buy the UK supplied unit or one of the AliExpress ones at a much cheaper price. I personally, opted for AliExpress and delivery was very quick.

Interestingly, the car was at the dealer the other day and the technician pointed out that they have noticed that these chargers are causing some key issues and that it applies to all of them and not just one specific supplier. My wife has noticed that she has had a few 'Key not found' messages when she goes to start up but it's only every now and again. It's never been an issue and easily fixed by relocating the key.

To be fair, I’ve had probably half a dozen times in the last year

I’ve order mine from aliexpress. Do people just leave them plugged in all the time? Do they use electricity when not in use? Didn’t want to damage car

Ours is permanently plugged into the socket in the centre console. Once in place, it truly looks like it belongs there and is original Volvo fit(you've probably seen all the photos already). The console sliding cover still slides over the top of it completely. I was concerned about the fan noise that some have mentioned but I've yet to hear a single thing and I'm sure that I can feel a gentle breeze coming out from the vent on the rear side where the USB sockets are. The addition of those sockets is a nice bonus and when the ignition is off the unit will power down with the car.
