Start and stop charging

You can charge your car by using either AC1 charging or DC2 charging. How you start and stop the charging process depends on the type of charging you use.

AC charging is the recommended charging mode for everyday charging as it maintains the condition of the battery over time. AC charging can be used if you are charging from a charging station, a charging point at home or a regular household socket. DC charging is available at certain charging stations and charges your car faster than AC charging. However, it also wears the battery out faster. DC charging can be used when you need to recharge your battery immediately.
