Charging power

Charging power is used for charging the high voltage battery as well as preconditioning of the car. Charging takes place with a charging cable connected to the car's charging input socket and a 230 Vsocket1 (alternating current) or via a charging station.

When the charging cable is activated, the driver display shows a message and a lamp in the car's charging input socket illuminates. The car's centre display is activated at the same time and shows the settings for charging. Charging power is mainly used for battery charging, but it is also used for preconditioning of the car. The 12V battery is also charged when the car's battery is charged.

 Important

Never unplug the charging cable from the 230 V socket (alternating current) while charging is in progress - there is then a risk of damaging the 230 V socket. Always end charging first before unplugging the charging cable from the car's charging input socket and then from the 230 V socket.

 Note

  • It may take longer to charge the high voltage battery in cold or hot weather. Part of the charging current is then used to heat/cool the high voltage battery.
  • If preconditioning is selected, the charging time may be affected.
  • Fast charging at up to 150 kW power output is possible in good conditions for high voltage battery and charging station. The charging power is limited towards the end of fast charging.

Fuse

Normally several 230 V consumers are included in a fuse circuit, so additional consumers (e.g. lighting, vacuum cleaner, electric drill, etc.) can be on the same fuse.

  1. 1 The voltage in the socket may vary depending on market.
  2. 2 Maximum power that the charging station can supply.
  3. 3 Applies at 0-80% State Of Charge (SoC) provided that the temperature of the battery is between 20-35 °C (68-95 °F)
