PIT LANE CHARGING

PIT LANE CHARGING
Overview
The Pit Lane Charging function allows the
high-voltage battery to be charged while the
vehicle is stationary. During this procedure,
the engine is operated at an elevated idle
speed and substantially higher torque output.
The extra power produced is absorbed the by
the e-motor which in turn generates an
electrical current that is rectified and passed
on to the high-voltage battery.
Once the target state of charge has been
reached, the engine returns to a normal idle
and the excess engine torque is reduced to
zero.
In order to activate pit lane charging, the
vehicle must be stationary and the gearbox in
its neutral position. Start the engine and wait
until it settles in to a steady idle. Press and
hold the ‘CHARGE’ button for five seconds. If
temperature and battery conditions are met,
the engine will automatically elevate its idle
speed and increase its load to charge the
high-voltage battery.
The following conditions should be satisfied
for Pit Lane Charging to be enabled:
•
Vehicle stationary
•
Gearbox in neutral
•
Battery temperature < 54 °C
•
Ambient temperature < 40 °C
•
Engine coolant temperature < 105 °C
•
High-voltage battery below 75% SOC
Should any of the above conditions be not be
met prior to attempting to enable Pit Lane
Charging, then the engine will not react to the
charge request. If any of the above conditions
be violated during the charging event, then
Pit Lane Charging will be aborted.
In the current configuration it is possible to
charge the battery at a rate of 6.5%/min if
system temperatures permit.
