Charging the high-voltage
battery
Introduction
Valid for: hybrid vehicles
Check that the driving mode is deactivated
and that the charging cable and infrastructure
are in perfect condition.
Types of charging
The following charging types are possible for
the vehicle:
●
Charging with alternating current (AC) at a
public charging station or home wallbox (Mode
›››
3 charging)
page 75:
Charges at high power. The maximum achiev-
able charging power depends on the charging
station and charging cable that is used and the
performance of the vehicle's charger.
●
Charging with alternating current (AC)
at a household socket (Mode 2 charging)

order
. You must plan for a longer charg-
ing time, e.g. overnight.
●
Charging with direct current (DC) at a fast
charging station (Mode 4 charging):

High-voltage battery
Direct current charging is not compatible with
this vehicle.
Protection against current leakage
The vehicle is fitted with a direct current (DC)
leakage protection device. This prevents any
current leakage that may occur during charg-
ing from reaching the house's electrically in-
stallation through the charging cable.
WARNING
If the battery is charged in an inappropri-
ate manner, if no consideration is given to
the appropriate safety measures or the high-
voltage battery is used in an inadequate
manner, this could lead to short circuits,
electrical shocks, explosions, fires, burns and
serious injuries, even death.
●
Always respect the stipulated order of the
operations to avoid the risk of suffering an
electric shock or serious injuries due to the
residual energy in the charging accumulator.
●
Please observe the safety and handling
instructions of the charging cable supplied

with the vehicle
.
●
When charging, only use power sockets
that are appropriately fitted, have been
checked and are not damaged, as well as
electrical installations that are in perfect
working order. Duly qualified technicians
should check the power sockets and the
electrical installation on a regular basis.
●
Never charge the vehicle in places where
there is a danger of explosion. The compo-
nents of the charging cable can cause sparks
and, therefore, may ignite flammable fumes
or explosives.
●
Always protect the connectors from mois-
ture and from water and other fluids getting
inside directly.
●
For safety reasons, never perform other
works on the vehicle while charging.
●
Always complete the charging process be-
fore unplugging the connector from the
electrical network. Otherwise the charging
cable and the electrical installation may also
be damaged.
Note
● To charge the high-voltage battery us-
ing alternating current (AC), CUPRA recom-
mends using a home charging station (wall-
box) or another type of charging station
and charging with maximum charging power.
These charging options are more efficient
than using a domestic power socket.
● Please note the technical data on your ve-
hicle's charging power. You can get more in-
formation from a specialised CUPRA dealer
or any SEAT network dealer.
● The high-voltage battery can only be
charged at charging stations that meet the
requirements of the country in questions and
at least one of the following standards:
– IEC 61851 and IEC 62196 (Europe)
