Connecting the charging cable
If the charging cable is not yet connected to the vehicle, you are prompted after the
authentication to connect the plug with your vehicle. The charging process starts
automatically for the CCS and AC Type 2 plug types.
In contrast, if you use the CHAdeMO port for charging, you need to start the charging process
manually on the screen.
Communication between the vehicle and charging station begins. The charging plug is
locked, and the charging process begins after a brief preparation period. The display switches
again and various information on your charging process is displayed.
A customer charging cable is required for charging at the AC charging socket. In addition to
the protective cover, the socket has an integrated shutter. Lift the protective cover to connect
the charging cable plug to the charging station. Insert the plug into the socket at the top and
push it in the direction of the charging station. This removes the shutter lock. Move the
charging plug downwards. When the plug has reached the final position, it latches into the
contacts of the socket. After initialization, the charging cable is locked by the charging station
and the charging process is started.
