The vehicle is equipped with two charg-
ing connections located at the front of
the vehicle (depending on the vehicle):
– E socket for charging up to 22 kW;
– F socket for direct current charging.
Note: on vehicles fitted with an 11 kW
charger, connecting the charging cable
to the E socket and to a 22 kW recharg-
ing terminal will enable the vehicle to be
charged at a maximum of 11 kW.
Precautions
Avoid charging and parking your ve-
F
hicle in extreme temperatures (hot or
cold).
Under extreme conditions, charging
may take several minutes before start-
ing (time required for the traction bat-
tery to cool down or warm up).
When the vehicle is parked for more
than seven days in temperatures below
about -25°C, charging the traction bat-
tery can become impossible.
If the vehicle is parked for more than
three months with near zero charge, it
may become impossible to charge the
battery.
To preserve the service life of your trac-
tion battery, avoid parking the vehi-
cle for more than one month with high
charge, especially when the weather is
very hot.
Energy level availability depends on
the battery temperature. It may there-
fore vary between the time the vehicle
is stopped and restarted, depending on
whether the battery is cold or warm.
