Observe the provider's instructions at the
charging station.
Charging station with charging commu-
nication („Plug&Charge“)
You do not have to activate charging sta-
tions with charging communication before
the charging process. This is done by the
vehicle. This function is called "Plug &
Charge". Information is exchanged
between the vehicle and the charging sta-
tion via the charging cable for activation.
This is for:
R
mutual authorization of the vehicle and
the charging station
R
verification of contract data
R
automatic billing of the energy costs
Electronic certificates are used here for
secure exchange of data.
If the verification of contract data is suc-
cessful, the charging process is initiated.
i
A preliminary version of the
ISO/IEC 15118 standard is used for com-
munication between the vehicle and the
charging station. If it is necessary to
update your vehicle, consult an author-
ized electric drive smart center.
In order to use "Plug & Charge", you have to
configure the functions of your vehicle on
the "Vehicle Homepage" (Y page 120). For
this you require a "Plug & Charge" certif-
icate which you receive from your power
company after concluding a suitable con-
tract. Consult an authorized electric drive
smart center if you have problems with the
configuration or have no access to the
Internet.
The charging station offers information on
the availability of electricity and costs.
This information is processed by the vehi-
cle and is used for an optimum charging of
the high‑voltage battery (Y page 123). The
energy costs are automatically calculated
after the charging process is complete.
With your existing electricity contract,
you and others who have access to your vehi-
cle can charge the costs to your electricity
bill. For this reason, cancel your existing
electricity contract for this vehicle
before you sell it. Delete your "Plug &
Charge" certificate by all means.
i
You can delete the certificate from the
vehicle's data on the "Vehicle Home-
page". Please consult an authorized
electric drive smart center if you do not
have access to the Internet.
If the charging station allows the con-
nected vehicle access to the Internet, you
can call up and change information per-
taining to the vehicle on the "Vehicle
Homepage" (Y page 120).
