Information about charging
5-6 Charging your vehicle
you notice that the estimated remaining
distance is 85. When returning to your
vehicle a few hours later, you notice that
the estimated distance is now 91. This is
normal behaviour and is not a cause for
concern. The distance that is displayed
when the vehicle has been at rest is more
accurate.
How long does it take to
charge?
The amount of time it takes to fully charge
the vehicle is dependant upon the
remaining Battery charge level, the
available electricity supply (amperage
and voltage) and the charge setting you
are using. For example, a full charge on
the Range or Performance charge setting
will take approximately 15% longer than
on Standard.
Note: Charge time is also impacted by
both the ambient air temperature and the
temperature of the vehicle’s Battery. If the
temperature is outside the optimal range,
the vehicle’s heating and cooling system
will operate to warm or cool the Battery
accordingly. This will consume some of
the energy used for charging.
Use the following table as a guideline
when estimating how long it will take to
charge your vehicle. This table assumes
you are charging a fully depleted Battery
to a full charge using the Standard or
Range charge setting.
Estimated charging times
Note: The charge process slows down as the Battery approaches a full charge. Therefore,
reaching a high level of charge is much quicker than reaching a full charge.
