Normal Charge :We recommend using normal
charging for usual charging of the
vehicle.
(Refer to “Normal Charge.“ in this
chapter)
Quick Charge (if equipped) : You can charge at high speeds at
public charging stations. Refer to
the respective company's manual
that is provided for each quick
charger type.
Battery performance and durability
can deteriorate if the quick charger
is used constantly.
Use of quick charge should be
minimized in order to help prolong
high voltage battery life.
Trickle Charge : Trickle Charge can be used when
Normal Charge or Quick Charge
is not available by using house-
hold electricity. Normal Charge :
Takes about 4-5 hours at room tem-
perature (depending on charger ) for
a full charge (208V - 5.5kW: 5h
10min, 240V - 6.3kW: 4h 30min.)
(Can be charged to 100%.)
Quick Charge (if equipped) : Takes about 33 minutes at room
temperature. (50 kW charger)
(Can be charged to 83%.)
If you charge a second time after
the initial quick charge (up to
83%), it will charge up to 94%.
(Takes an additional 15 minutes at
room temperature.)
During cold weather, quick charg-
ing may not be available to prevent
battery degradation.
Trickle Charge : Takes up to 24 hours at room tem-
perature. (120V-12A : 24hours)
(Can be charged to 100%.) Depending on the condition and dura-
bility of the high voltage battery, charg-
er specifications, and ambient temper-
ature, the time required for charging
the high voltage battery may vary.
