Stop Charge

Automatic
When the vehicle no longer needs
to use power from the charging
station, it will stop charging and the
DC vehicle plug will be unlocked
from the DC charge port.
Energy can still be consumed from
the charging station when the
vehicle displays and indicators show
that the battery is fully charged. This
is to ensure the battery is in optimal
temperature operating range to
maximize vehicle range. See
