General information

9 Warning
Persons with a pacemaker should
consult a doctor for possible
precautions.
Charging the vehicle's high voltage
battery depends upon several factors:
● high voltage battery of the vehicle
● internal onboard charger (OBC)
● external charging device
● charging cable
The charging cable connects the
vehicle's high voltage battery with an
external charging device providing
electric power. This may be a
domestic electrical outlet, a
Green'Up outlet, a wall box or a public
charging station.
The high voltage battery can be
charged with direct current (DC) only.
When charging from a domestic
electrical outlet, a wall box or an
alternating current (AC) charging
station, AC has to be converted into
DC. This is done by the vehicle's
onboard charger. The onboard
charger (single-phase) is available
with 3.7 kW or 7.4 kW.
The speed of charging the vehicle's
high voltage battery depends upon
the weakest element of the charging
chain. To achieve the maximum
charging speed, charging cable and
charging device have to be attuned to
each other.
Notice
Make sure that the charging cable
used fits to the vehicle's onboard
charger.
