Charging methods
The following methods can be used
to charge the traction battery.
Types of charging methods
AC charging (P.49)
■
This is a charging method used when
charging from an AC socket with the
AC charging cable or charging that
uses AC charger.
By setting charging schedule, it is also pos-
sible to charge at the desired date and
time. (P.60)
DC charging (P.56)
■
This is a charging method that uses a
DC charger that complies with SAE J
1772. The traction battery can be
charged in a shorter time than AC
charging.
SAE is an abbreviation for an industrial
standard issued by the Society of Auto-
motive Engineers.
Charging-linked functions
This vehicle is equipped with several
functions that are linked with charging.
My Room Mode (P.65)
■
When the charging cable is connected
to the vehicle, electrical components
such as the air conditioning system and
audio system can be used by the power
supply from an external power source
*
: Depending on the situation, electricity of
the traction battery may be consumed.
1-3. Charging with the EV system
Traction battery heater
■
When the outside temperature is low
and the charging cable is connected to
the vehicle, this function automatically
warms the traction battery until it
reaches or exceeds a certain tempera-
ture.
The operation of this function is
stopped automatically when the
charging cable is disconnected or if
the charging cable is left connected
to the vehicle for approximately 3
days.
When the charging schedule is used
(P.60), this function will operate
according to the schedule settings.
Traction battery warming control
■
(Alaska and Canada only)
This control operates after the AC
charging cable remains connected to
the vehicle for approximately 3 days
and the traction battery heater auto-
matically stops. It automatically insu-
lates the traction battery in extremely
low temperatures.
This control stops 31 days after the
charging cable is connected, even if
it is still connected to the vehicle.
When this control operates,
charging schedule settings are
ignored and charging starts imme-
diately.
Traction battery cooler
■
When the traction battery is hot and
*
.
the AC charging cable is connected to
the vehicle, this function cools the trac-
tion battery to protect it.
