Charging Time
Charging times vary based on the voltage and current available from the power outlet, subject to various
conditions. Charge time also depends on ambient temperature and the vehicle’s Battery temperature. If the Battery
is not within the optimal temperature range for charging, the vehicle heats or cools the Battery before or during
charging.
To estimate the total time it takes to recharge the Battery in hours (from near zero percent to near one hundred
percent), divide the battery size (kWh) by power (kW). Dierent adapters provide dierent current and power
outputs.
While you are charging your vehicle, you can also touch the Charging icon to review the charging status
information; it displays the time remaining until fully charged at the currently selected charge level.
