Vehicle Charging
Before you charge your vehicle:
1.
Unlock the ID.4.
2.
Press on the left side of the charging flap to open.
AC Charging
Charging Station or Wall Box
AC (alternating current) charging can be done at a charging station or wall box (recommended),
which offers higher AC power than a standard outlet. The maximum achievable charging power
your vehicle can accept determines your power level, which results from the charging station
used, the charging cable used and the equipment of the battery charger, up to 11 kW.
Household 110V Outlet
The ID.4 is equipped with a 110V charging cable and can be charged using your household’s
110V electrical outlet. The electrical system must be checked and must be working correctly to
ensure proper charging. Due to the cable’s low power delivery, plenty of charging time should
be scheduled, otherwise the cable can be used for a top off overnight or at your cottage.
Flashing white LED light: Preparing
for charging.
Solid white LED light: No active
charging function.
Pulsing green LED light: High-voltage
battery is being charged.
Solid green LED light: Charging process
successfully completed.
Flashing green LED light: Charging
process not yet started.
Alternating green and red LED light:
Malfunction. Charging with reduced
current to prevent a vehicle breakdown.
Solid red LED light: The charging
process cannot start, or charging
has stopped prematurely.
Connecting the Charging Cable
1.
Connect the charging cable to the power supply after fully unwinding
the charging cable. If charging at home, the protective device will
carry out a self-test.
2.
Ensure the charging connector is properly aligned and insert it into
the charging socket.
• The LED light on the charging socket flashes or briefly flashes white.
3.
The vehicle immediately starts charging up to the maximum battery
charge level or according to the charging settings.
• The charging station may have to be enabled.
DC Fast Charging
DC (direct current) charging can be performed at a public charging station
where it is charged with a very high charging power (up to 125 kW). This sig-
nificantly reduces the charging time.
1.
Remove the protective cap and stick it on the hanger.
2.
Insert the charging station connector into the charging socket.
3.
The LED light (charging process indicator) on the charging socket flashes or
briefly flashes white.
4.
Activate the charge via mobile app, charger screen, or other instructions
on the charger.
5.
The charge starts immediately.
NOTICE: A very high charging power is used for fast charging with direct current
(DC). Frequent fast charging can permanently reduce the battery capacity of the
high-voltage battery. Charge the high-voltage battery mainly with alternating
current (AC) at a charging station or wall box.
