Charging the hybrid batteries
The batteries are charged using a charging cable stored in a storage case attached to the side panel in the boot. The charging case is secured in place by means of a magnetic snap fitting and released by lifting it straight up.
Important
The hybrid batteries can also be charged via charging stations with an integrated control device. The charging stations can be equipped with either a permanent charging cable or a socket where a special charging cable with a matching connector, known as a mode 3 charging cable, can be connected.
Fast charging
Besides charging via a 230 V socket (alternating current), 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. The maximum charging power is normally achieved when the charge level of the hybrid batteries is 0-80%. When the charge level increases, the power will be reduced in order to reduce wear.
Note
The time it takes for the hybrid batteries to be charged is dependent on the charging power that is used.

Warning
Charging cable handle and charging input socket

- Indicators on the charging cable's control unit.
- Indicator lamp in the car's charging input socket.
- Illustration and text in the driver display.
The starter battery is charged when the hybrid batteries are charging and terminated when the hybrid batteries are fully charged. It is not possible to drive the car while charging is in progress.
If the hybrid batteries' temperature is below -10 ºC (14 ºF) or above 40 ºC (104 ºF) then it may mean that some of the car's functions are changed or unavailable because the capacity of the hybrid batteries is reduced outside this temperature range.
Electric operation is not possible if the temperature of the batteries is too low or too high. If drive mode PURE is then selected, the combustion engine starts.
Decal on the inside of the charging flap

Choose charging that is approved for use in the car in accordance with the identifier1 on the inside of the flap for the charging input socket.
Charging with the petrol engine

Energy is regenerated to the battery with a gentle press of the brake pedal or during engine braking.
The function is available in all drive modes together with gear position D or B.
