Charging at J1772 public AC charging stations or with the Wallbox (AC charging)
Charging the high-voltage battery at an AC charging station or with the Wallbox: The high-voltage battery is charged at a rate of up to 7.2 kW. The charging process for a completely discharged high-voltage battery lasts about 4 hours.
The charging connector has to be connected to the upper part of the charging socket (3). Leave the lower part covered.
The Wallbox is available as an accessory. An authorized Volkswagen dealer can provide you with information on the Wallbox.
Make sure that the Wallbox is installed by a qualified expert and that your house’s electrical system is also checked before installation.
It is not possible to feed energy back into the power grid.
Supplementary charging cable
Connect the charging connector on the supplied charging cable to a properly functioning 110 Volt Ground Fault Circuit (GFI) outlet with a 15 amp fuse. The outlet must be properly protected from
water, moisture, and other fluids ⇒
Charging for the first time and charging after long standing periods
If the high-voltage battery is charged for the first time or charged after the vehicle has been standing for a long period, it is possible that the maximum charging level of the high-voltage battery cannot be reached. This is for technical reasons and does not necessarily mean a vehicle malfunction. If the maximum charge level is not reached even after several charging procedures, have the high-voltage battery checked by an authorized Volkswagen dealer or authorized Volkswagen service facility.
If the vehicle is not used for a long period, the high-voltage battery must be charged after 4 months at
the latest ⇒ .
WARNING
If you are not familiar with the socket or the electrical installation or it has not been checked by qualified experts, never use it for charging. Even very low charging currents can cause serious damage and in particular fires if the socket or electrical installation is in bad condi-tion. If necessary, get expert assistance from a qualified electrical installation specialist.
NOTICE
Frequently charging the vehicle with a high charging power, particularly with a direct current (DC charging), can lead to a permanent reduction of the charging capacity of the high-voltage battery. If possible, charge the vehicle with low charging power, like with a home-charging station or with the supplementary charging cable.
NOTICE
Not using the vehicle for long periods can cause damage to the high-voltage battery. Charge the high-voltage battery after 4 months at the latest.
The vehicle can be charged on charging stations that comply with the J1772 standard.
