DC Fast Charging
DC fast charging (also known as
Level 3 charging) provides high
power DC current directly to the EV
battery. DC charging stations are
capable of charging the EV battery to
80% in less than 75 minutes under
normal conditions.
While DC charging is very fast com-
pared to AC charging, prolonged and
continuous use of DC fast charging
may reduce the long term life of the
EV battery. Usage of a DC fast
charger should be minimized when
possible in order to help prolong the
life of the EV battery.
Actual charger image and charg-
ing method may vary in accor-
dance with the charging station
manufacturer.
Information
If you use a DC charger when the
vehicle is already fully charged, some
DC chargers will send out an error
message. When the vehicle is fully
charged, do not charge the vehicle.
How to Connect DC Charger
1. Depress the brake pedal and
apply the electronic parking brake.
2. Shift to P (Park) and turn OFF the
vehicle using the POWER button.
Information
If charging is initiated without the
gear in P (Park), charging will start
only after the gear is automatically
shifted to P (Park).
3. Unlock the vehicle before opening
the charging door. From the out-
side the vehicle, push on the
charging door in the area indicat-
ed by the arrow to open the door.
Information
If you cannot open the charging door
due to freezing weather tap lightly or
remove any ice near the charging
door. Do not try to forcibly open the
charging door.
