DC charging cable
The DC charging cable that is permanently in‐
stalled at the charging station makes is possible
to charge at DC charging stations. Charging is
performed with direct current at designated DC
charging stations. At the higher capacity current
connection of a DC charger station the charging
time is significantly lower than with a household
socket or a Level 2 charging station.
During charging at a DC charging station, an indi‐
cation in the instrument cluster, refer to
page 218, is displayed.
The DC charging cable is also referred to as
Level 3 DC charging cable.
Storage
The Level 1 charging cable is located in the
charging cable compartment under the hood.
The Level 2 charging cable can be stored in the
same place.
Moisture can penetrate into the charging cable
compartment, for instance in a vehicle wash.
If required, store the charging cable with the in‐
stalled plug cover to prevent moisture in the
charging cable plug.
