● When the temperature is high, it is recommended to charge the vehicle in a cool, ventilated place. performance in DC charging at high temperatures, resulting in lower charging performance and longer charging time. To ensure charging efficiency, it is recommended to keep the A/C off during charging. ● Battery temperatures that are too low or too high compromise vehicle charging performance. ● The temperature control system can improve low-temperature charging capacity of the battery. Due to output capacity limitations of charging piles, the charging time is extended, the heating time becomes longer and the power consumption of heating is increased. This is a normal phenomenon.
● When the heating or cooling function is enabled during charging, it is normal that both charging time and power consumption increase slightly. ● During charging, battery cooling may start, and the compressor, fan and other components work when necessary. It is normal that there will be some noise under the engine compartment. ● For faster low-temperature DC charging, charging from low SOC is recommended because, due to the low battery temperature, the charging current is small for vehicles with high SOC in low-temperature environments. ● During charging, the estimated remaining time to full charge is displayed on the instrument cluster or infotainment touchscreen.
It is normal that the remaining time to full charge may vary slightly, depending on the temperatures, SOC, and charging facilities. Before charging is completed, "Calculating..." is displayed on the instrument cluster. ● To improve your experience at low temperatures, it is recommended that you charge the vehicle immediately after using it, as the battery is relatively hot and has better charging performance. ● If the charge port door is frozen due to weather or other reasons, do not force it open. ● Turning A/C on during low- temperature charging affects the performance of battery temperature control system and charging performance.
● When the vehicle is not used for an extended period, it is recommended that it should be fully charged before driving. In case of idle periods, it is recommended to charge the battery every three months in order to prolong its service life. ● It is normal that when the battery temperature control system is working during charging, the charging power displayed on the instrument cluster or infotainment system may fluctuate temporarily. REMINDER ● Do not open the charge port door forcibly when it is locked. ● Before charging is complete, battery equalization is activated for longer battery life and thus the charging time may be longer.
● Do not force the charging connector in or out while the charge port is locked. ● The use of A/C may worsen battery temperature control system 82
