High-voltage battery
Battery Care Mode function
Keeping the battery charged to levels close to
100% while the vehicle is parked is not recom-
mended to ensure good battery health (partic-
ularly in hot climates).
This function automatically congures the
maximum charge level according to the am-
bient temperature by setting it to 80% when
the temperature is above 5ºC and 90% if the
temperature is below 0ºC. If the temperature
drops from 5 to 0ºC, it is limited to 90% at 0ºC
and below. If the temperature rises from 0ºC to
5ºC, it is limited to 80% from 5ºC and higher.
When leaving the vehicle parked in very hot
weather (e.g. in the sun in summer) with a high
state of charge, to prevent battery drain the
Battery Care Mode will activate battery cooling
to cool the battery and keep it at a state of
charge of around 80%.
If you need to charge the battery to 100%,
you do not need to deactivate the function.
Set the charge level to 100% and the charg-
ing limit will automatically reactivate during the
next charge.
Note
●
The programmed charge conguration
prevails over the “Battery Care” congura-
tion (the maximum charge level is not auto-
matically reset).
●
CUPRA recommends using the Battery
Care Mode function in daily use to prolong
the life of the high-voltage battery.
Plug & Charge function
Plug & Charge simplies the payment process
at charging stations without the need for cards
or phones.
Upon arrival at a public charging station, the
vehicle is authenticated and the charging
process starts automatically as soon as the
charging cable is plugged in. The function de-
pends on the equipment and the country.
Prerequisites:
●
A subscription has been arranged with an
electro-mobility service provider (MSP) com-
patible with Plug & Charge and the contract
has been installed in the vehicle via the My CU-
PRA Appapp. In order to change the contract
installation, the main user must be logged into
the vehicle.
●

Once the contract has been installed in the
vehicle, it is active for all users (primary and ad-
ditional). All users can deactivate the function,
but only the primary user can reactivate it.

tory settings ›››page253.
Charging with a home en-
ergy management system
Bidirectional Charging
Bi-directional charging allows power to be
transferred from your vehicle's battery to your
home, and vice-versa.
This requires a home energy management sys-
tem and a compatible charger.
Prerequisites
●
Vehicle with 77 kWh net battery capacity.
●
Compatible home energy management sys-
tem (HEMS) and bi-directional DC charging
station.
●
A charging schedule must be created in the
infotainment system (Schedule tab).
