Charging methods
The following methods can be used to charge the hybrid battery
(traction battery).
◆
Charging from an external power source (P. 146)
This is a charging method used when charging from an AC outlet
(120 V) with the charging cable equipped to the vehicle or charging
at a public charging station.
The charging start time (or departure time) and day can be set to carry
out charging using the timer at the desired date and time. (P. 157)
◆
Using the hybrid battery (traction battery) charge mode
(P. 89)
The plug-in hybrid system can be switched to hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) charge mode to charge the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) using electricity generated by gasoline engine operation.
The maximum charge amount in the hybrid battery (traction battery)
charge mode is approximately 80% of the fully charged capacity for the
charging from an external power source.
Estimated charging time
The time required to charge the hybrid battery (traction battery) differs
according to the charging voltage and charging current.
