Check with the charging station
manager.
Depending on the condition of the
vehicle, the charging time may
become longer than normal, and the
DC charging may not be completed
within the restricted time.
• When the A/C, headlights, audio system, etc., are turned on, the
electricity consum ption of the vehi-
cle will be increas ed. Perform the
DC charging after turning off all of
the above.
• The temperature of the traction battery may be low. Perform the
