Slow Charging
Note: Carrying out a full slow charge is
the only way for the high voltage battery
to reach the optimal equilibrium state
(equalisationcharge).
High voltage battery chargers are available
with various power outputs. Chargers
with outputs of up to 3 kW are generally
considered as slow chargers, 7 - 22 kW are
considered fast chargers and rapid chargers
are available in AC or DC outputs. Generally
the AC chargers are rated at 43kW and the
DC chargers at 50kW plus.
Charging times are dependent on charger
output.
To carry out an equalisation slow charge, it is
recommended that the charger output does
not exceed 7kW.
AC Charging Points
IMPORTANT
Please ensure that only charge points that
meet IEC 61851 and IEC 62196 are used to
connect to your vehicle.
Using an AC charging device:
1 Ensure the vehicle power system is OFF
and all doors are closed.
2 Open the charging port door, remove
the waterproof plug cover from the 7 pin
charging plug connector.
3 Plug the cable from the charger point into
the vehicle. Lock the vehicle.
4 On completion of the charge, shut off the
power, unlock the vehicle and disconnect
the plug from the vehicle.
5 Ensure the charge socket is free from
debris, fit the waterproof plug cover.
Close the charging point door.
