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? Like phases that are 90 degrees out of alignment? No.
Normal US is two 120V phases that are 180 degree apart for 240VAC.
You can do 2 phases of a 3 phase system for 208 VAC.
It’s a lost cause, but for anyone else who comes along and reads this, be aware that it’s false. The US has single phase 240V for residential service. There’s a center tap neutral that gets fed from the transformer to the home which allows customers to choose between 120V or 240V circuits as appropriate for their needs.
They are effectively the exact same thing.
Only if you have an extremely narrow viewpoint. There are practical implications of neutral/hot vs hot/hot even if the end result is 120V in both cases.
