  2. Connect the charging cable to the appropriate vehicle charging port.

To connect the charging cable at a public charging facility:

  1. Connect a public charging cable to the applicable vehicle charging port socket.
  2. Follow the instructions on the charging post.

The charging cable is locked into position once connected.

The charging process starts automatically, if all conditions have been met.

When charging is complete, unplug and store the charging cable.

Note:

  • Make sure to select the correct charging cable for the vehicle when using a public charging station. The vehicle supports both AC and DC charging providing the correct cable is used.
  • Make sure that the AC charging cable meets standard IEC62196-2.
  • Always connect the charging cable to the electricity supply before connecting to the vehicle
  • During AC charging, if a power cut occurs, the charging process stops. Once power is restored, the AC charging process resumes automatically.
  • If a power cut occurs during DC charging, the charging process must be manually resumed.
  • A power cut may affect the vehicle’s ability to fully charge before embarking on a journey.
  • The vehicle is unable to start with the charging cable connected.

Charging Port Indicators

A label adjacent to the charging port provides a quick reference to the behavor of the charging indicator LED in relation to charging status.

A charging status light next to the charging port illuminates to aid connecting the cable in dark conditions and to show the current charging status. The instrument panel also shows the charging status. Both are illuminated as follows:

A white flashing light indicates that a cable has been detected and the vehicle is attempting to start charging with an initialization process. If the flashing white light is shown for longer than 10 seconds, check connections at both ends of the cable and check for any incomplete steps at the charge post. The instrument panel flashes a white cable symbol.

A blue pulsing light indicates that the initialization process has been completed and timed charging has been set. The vehicle is not currently charging but will charge prior to the set departure time. The instrument panel flashes the clock symbol shown above.

A green pulsing light indicates that the initialization process has been completed and the vehicle is charging. The instrument panel flashes a green cable symbol.

A continuous green light indicates that the vehicle charging is completed. The instrument panel displays a green cable symbol.

A flashing red light indicates a charging fault with the vehicle. The instrument panel displays a red charging symbol. If the charging fault persists, contact a retailer/authorised repairer.

Charging status can also be viewed via the MY EV touchscreen menu.

Vehicle Charging Safety

Make sure to read and fully understand the following warnings and cautions before attempting to charge the vehicle. Failure to observe cautions and warnings may result in vehicle damage, injury, or death in the event of an accident.

  • Never disassemble, remove, or replace high voltage components, cables, or connectors. High voltage cables and connectors are colored orange for identification purposes.
  • Never use a charging cable if there is any damage to the unit.
  • Never use an extension lead or multiple socket in order to extend the reach of a charging cable.
  • Never connect a plug adaptor to a charging cable when traveling abroad.
  • Always fully unwind the charging cable. Failure to fully unwind the charging cable could lead to overheating of the cable.
  • Before initially connecting a charging cable, make sure the electricity supply has been checked and approved by a suitably qualified person.
  • Do not expose the charge cable contacts to rain, a direct jet of water, or a water splash. Do not immerse the charge cable in water.
  • Never attempt to pull the cable from the charging port once it is locked. Damage to the cable’s locking mechanism will result. If disconnection is required, press the unlock button on the smart key once for AC charging, twice for DC charging. The cable’s locking mechanism re-engages after a short time.
  • Always select the correct charging cable for the vehicle when using a public charging station, with a connector that matches the vehicle’s charging port.
  • Always contact a retailer/authorised repairer if the charging cable fails to release regularly.
  • Before attempting to perform any repairs on a vehicle, consult a retailer/authorised repairer.
