the vehicle's high voltage battery.
Charging at wallboxes
A wallbox is a charging unit for private
households. It provides a charging
cable which has to be connected to
the vehicle's charging port. Some
wallboxes do not provide a charging
cable. In this case, a separate
charging cable is required which has
to be connected to both the wallbox
and the charging port of the vehicle.
Charging at charging stations
Charging stations may provide
alternating current (AC) or direct
current (DC).
Charging time may vary depending
on the charging station, DC charging
stations provide the fastest charging.
To charge the vehicle's battery, the
charging cable of the charging station
has to be connected to the charging
port of the vehicle.

The vehicle's high voltage battery can
be charged at a domestic electrical
outlet. Connect the charging cable to
the vehicle's charging port and to the
domestic electrical outlet.

recommended.
