Put on the protective caps on both 15.
Charging Gun and Vehicle Inlet. Place
the Charging gun back and close the
charging inlet flap.
Fast / DC Charging
Fast charging of electric vehicle is •
achieved by using Fast/DC charging
stations; they convert the AC power
from the grid to DC power and can di-
rectly charge the HV battery pack thus
bypassing the On-Board Charger.
Fast charging can be done wherever
•
Fast/DC charging station is available.
User can charge at high speeds at
public charging stations.
Electric vehicle can be fast charged using
any fast charging station or equipment
compliant to Combined Charging System
standard having Type 2 connector (CCS
Type 2). It takes 60 minutes (time for a 0-
80% charge, may increase basis factors
such as charger rating, ambient tempera-
ture, vehicle usage during and before
charging, air conditioning usage during
charging, aux loads etc.) for the high volt-
age battery to charge from 0% to 80%
using any CCS Type 2 fast charging sta-
tion. The charging gun will be locked after
switching on the DC supply.
Fast Charging Procedure
Engage the Automatic parking brake 1.
(APB) switch. (Charging won’t start if
APB is not engaged).
Pull out the Charging Gun from 2.
DC/Fast Charging Station.
Open the protective cap on Charging
3.
Gun.
NOTE
Battery performance and durability can
deteriorate if the fast charger is used
constantly. Use of Fast Charging should
be minimized in order to help prolong
high voltage battery life.
After a maximum of four fast charging
cycles, the battery pack you must use
Normal charging to 100% State of
Charge for the optimum performance of
the high voltage battery pack.
NOTE
Depending on the condition and dura-
bility of the high voltage battery, charger
specifications, charger rating, and am
bient temperature, the time required for
charging the high voltage battery may
vary.
