Charging station without charging
communication
You must activate charging stations
without charging communication before
the charging process. This can be done with
an RFID card or a telephone call, for
example. Observe the provider's
instructions at the charging station.
Charging station with charging
communication („Plug&Charge“)
You do not have to activate charging
stations 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
station 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
successful, the charging process is
initiated.
i
A preliminary version of the
ISO/IEC 15118 standard is used for
communication between the vehicle and
the charging station. If it is necessary
to update your vehicle, consult an
authorized 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 110). For
this you require a "Plug & Charge"
certificate which you receive from your
power company after concluding a suitable
contract. 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
vehicle and is used for an optimum
charging of the high‑voltage battery
(Y page 117). 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
vehicle 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
Homepage". Pleaseconsult an authorized
electric drive smart center if you do not
have access to the Internet.
If the charging station allows the
connected vehicle access to the Internet,
you can call up and change information
pertaining to the vehicle on the "Vehicle
Homepage" (Y page 110).
