General information on charging
Different types of charging
The time it takes for the high voltage battery to be charged depends on the charging power that is used. The 12 V battery is also charged when the car is charged.
Charging via a wall socket (AC charging)
The car can be charged via a normal wall socket. This type of charging is suitable as an additional charging for an electric car but is not recommended for regular charging.
Charging via a charging station (AC charging)
The charging station can either be equipped with a permanent charging cable or with a socket where a mode 3 charging cable can be connected. This type of charging is recommended for regular charging.
Fast charging via a charging station (DC charging)
The car supports fast charging with direct current via charging stations that support the CCS (Combined Charging System) standard. A higher charging power can normally be achieved by charging with direct current, and the charging time can therefore be reduced. Highest charging power is normally reached when the battery's state of charge is 0–30%. After that, the charging power gradually decreases.
Effect of temperature
The high voltage battery with associated electrical drive systems will work better at the correct operating temperature.
High voltage battery performance may be reduced if the temperature in the battery is too low or high.
