efficiency values may differ from those stated
on the energy label.
The Mode 2 charging cable is also referred to
as standard charging cable.

charging cable
The Flexible Fast Charger is a special mode 2
charging cable.

ible Fast Charger allow you to charge flexi-
bly using domestic socket outlets or industrial
sockets with protective conductors.
Mode 3 charging cable
The Mode 3 charging cable makes it possible

AC charging stations using a special connec-
tor. Charging is performed with alternating cur-
rent at designated AC charging stations. The
charging process can be completed faster than
at domestic socket outlets.
A charge current level up max. 16 A is possible.
The charging cable may be permanently in-
stalled at the charging station.
The Mode 3 charging cable is also referred to
as AC quick charging cable.

in the luggage compartment, for instance un-
der the cargo floor panel or in a bag.
Stow charging cable after use in the same
place again.
If the charging cable is stowed in a bag, fasten
the bag at an open lashing eye in the luggage
compartment.
If required, store the charging cable with the
