Starting and stopping charging

You can charge your vehicle by using either AC1 charging or DC2 charging. How you start and stop the charging process depends on the type of charging you use.

AC charging is the recommended charging mode, as it maintains the condition of the battery over time. This is the type of charging you are using when you are charging from a charging station, from a charging point at home or from a regular household outlet. However, using a household outlet is not recommended for regular use and is only suitable for occasional charging.

DC charging is available at certain charging stations and charges your vehicle faster than AC charging. DC charging can be used when you need to recharge your battery immediately.
