Charging process
Principle
Charging can be adapted to accommodate vari‐
ous constraints, for example, electricity costs,
available electricity source or low ambient tem‐
perature. The vehicle controls the charging proc‐
ess so that the charging is completed if possible
by a departure time. To do so, a departure time
must be set.

Charging vehicle
General
High or low outside temperatures can cause lon‐
ger charging times.
When charging the vehicle, a target charge can
be set, shortening the charging time.
When the route guidance to a DC charging sta‐
tion has been started, the high-voltage battery is
pre-conditioned as much as possible until the
destination is reached. This increases the charg‐
ing capacity during the charging process and
shortens the charging time. Pre-conditioning
takes factors, for example remaining range or
outside temperatures, into account.
If the mode 2 charging cable is exposed to high
temperatures and direct sunlight, this may inter‐
rupt the charging process. Charging process re‐
sumes automatically.
The charging process will be interrupted or will
not be started when a Remote Software Up‐
grade is installed. The charging process may not
be continued automatically after successful in‐
stallation.
