Instruments and controls2-27

Charging time
Displays the estimated time to a full Li-ion charge
based on the Charging Mode selected.
The time needed to charge the Li-ion battery
charges based on:
Outside temperature
Li-ion battery temperature
Available electrical power supplied to the char-ger
NOTE:
Immediately after charging has finished,
the charge time will be displayed as “----”.
The estimated charging time stops updat-
ing if the air conditioner is turned on while
the Li-ion battery is charging. The esti-
mated charging time updates approxi-
mately 15 minutes after the air condi-
tioner is turned off.
The 6 kW and the 3 kW charging time
typically shows different times to reach
the customer selected charge level.
However, the same charging time may be
shown for both the 6 kW and the 3 kW based
on the Li-ion battery state of charge and battery
temperature.
The system may automatically slow the battery
charge to prevent the battery from becoming
overcharged.
