Charging of high-voltage battery
Charging in the vehicle's center display
The center display can be used to set charge level, unlock the charging cable and set charging power capacity (amperage).
Charging status in the instrument panel
Charging status is indicated in the instrument panel using both graphics and messages. This information is displayed as long as the instrument panel is active.
Charging status in the vehicle's charging socket
The LED light in the vehicle's charging socket shows the actual status of ongoing charging. The table below explains the LED light's different glows.
General information about charging cables
A mode-3 cable is used for AC charging. Some charging stations have a permanent charging cable, while others require that you connect your, or the vehicle's, own cable.
Ground fault breaker in charging cable
The charging cable has a circuit breaker that helps protect against current overloads and thermal overheating.
Charging status in the charging cable's control module
The LED light on the charging cable's control unit shows the status of ongoing charging, as well as status after completed charging.
Temperature monitoring of the charging cable
To help ensure the vehicle's battery is reliably charged each time it is connected, the charging cable's control module and plug have integrated temperature monitoring devices.
Charging electric vehicles via wall outlet
If no other charging options are available, the vehicle can be charged via a wall outlet.
Charging electric vehicles
Charge the vehicle via a home charging station or via a public charging station.
Stopping charging of the electric vehicle
To stop charging at any time, press the button next to the charging socket or via the button in the center display.
Electric propulsion symbols and messages in the instrument panel
If a fault occurs in the vehicle's electric propulsion system, a symbol and a message will appear in the instrument panel. Several examples are provided below.
Charging time
The following charging times are approximate and apply when charging is not affected by current being drawn from the climate system or any other function. The charging time can also vary depending on battery size. If charging seems to be taking more time than shown in the table, this should be investigated.
