Practical Information; Charging The Main Battery - CITROËN C-ZERO Handbook

Charging the main battery

There are two types of charging you can use:
normal or fast.
Normal charging should be used in preference;
it is done from a domestic mains power point.
Fast charging is done at a compatible fast
charging station.
Normal charging
Before connecting, check that the
electrical installation you want to use
meets standards* and is compatible
with a current rating of 8A.
In particular, check that the electric
power point is of suitable quality.
There are sockets available that are
specially designed for charging electric
vehicles.
In all cases, it is recommended that
that you first have an initial check
and then regular checks on your
installation by a qualified electrician.

has established a partnership with a
specialist company that can check and
bring your electrical installation up to
standard. For more information, contact
a CITROËN dealer.

CITROËN charging cable.
In the event of damage to or

control unit, do not use it. Contact a
CITROËN dealer if in doubt or for a
replacement.
