The charging process can vary depending on the
power supply equipment. The charging times
when charging the high-voltage battery at the
mains socket are considerably longer than when
charging at a wallbox or charging station.
When doing so, always observe the local informa-
tion.
Do not leave the charging cable controls hanging
loose from a mains socket.
Do not lift the controls by the following compo-
nent parts:
the charging cable connector
R
the mains plug

When charging, protect the charging cable control
element from excessive heat such as direct sun-
light. Otherwise, the charging process may be
canceled.
