Charging with a home energy management system
Note
Ask specialist personnel for conrmation
about a suitable home energy management
system. It is advisable to use equipment rec-
ommended by CUPRA.
Functionality
Once the schedule has been created, choose
between the Bi-directional charging (charge
and discharge) or Discharge (discharge only)
mode in the drop-down charge mode selector.
Note
If discharge mode is activated, the vehicle
will not charge even if the connector is prop-
erly connected to the charging socket.
To limit the energy transferred, set the battery
charge levels in the Infotainment system. For
technical reasons, the lower and upper battery
charge levels are limited to 20% and 80% re-
spectively.
The hours dened in the schedule and the ve-
hicle’s preferred hours will not apply to bi-di-
rectional charging, they will be governed by the
schedules of the home e-manager.
In addition, the home energy management
system can reuse electricity from the high-
voltage battery in the event of a power failure
or to power a home without a connection to
the electrical grid.
Note
Read and follow the home energy manage-
ment system’s user and operating manual.
Selecting the charging mode
1. Press the drop-down list of charging
modes and select Bi-directional Charging
or Discharging ›››page83.
The charging or discharging process starts
automatically.
2. Check the desired battery charge level ac-
cording to the charging schedule.
Note
●
It can read the amount of power drawn
from the home energy management system.
The vehicle discharges with a maximum
power of around 10kW.
●
The use of the function is limited to avoid
excessive wear of the high voltage battery.
When the maximum values on the operating
hours meter (4,000h) and energy quantity
meter (10,000kWh) have been reached in
the Settings menu, the function will deacti-
vate. Bidirectional charging will perform an
immediate charge and the “Discharge” mode
will not be displayed.
Charging with a home energy man-
agement system
This function activates monitoring of house-
hold consumption to avoid power cuts.
The vehicle monitors the house’s instantane-
ous current consumption and the vehicle au-
tomatically reduces its charging power before
overloading the electrical grid and causing a
power cut.
Prerequisites
●
Compatible home energy management sys-
tem (HEMS).
●
Compatible charging station.
●
A schedule has been created in the infotain-
ment system for the location where the com-
patible charging station is installed.
Note
