# Optimising DC Charging
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An optimum battery temperature improves the charging capacity at a DC quick- charging station and shortens the charging time. For this purpose, the function controls heating of the high- voltage battery for electric vehicle route planning with charging stops.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Opening the menu
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Open the Charging main menu in the Infotainment system.
|
||
|
|
2. Tap the optimizing DC charging function button.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|

Infotainment system: menu for optimizing the current DC charging capacity
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$①$ Current DC charging capacity in kW.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$②$ Start or stop heating of the high- voltage battery.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$③$ Required time until maximum DC charging capacity.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The coloured bar in the middle of the screen shows the optimization potential for the DC charging capacity.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
No further optimization is possible if the bar is completely filled.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The display may vary depending on vehicle configuration.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Optimizing the charging capacity automatically
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the case of electric vehicle route planning with charging stops (DC quick- charging stations), heating of the high- voltage battery is switched on before the respective charging stop is reached. The required time for heating is calculated automatically.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Open the Settings menu.
|
||
|
|
2. Check that Optimizing the rapid-charging function with active route guidance is activated and activate the function if necessary.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The maximum charging capacity of the local quick- charging station at the charging stop is taken into account. The displayed DC charging capacity can therefore vary at individual charging stops.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Optimizing the charging capacity manually
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The function can be started manually at any time and without the electric vehicle route planning function of the Infotainment system, e.g. before arriving at a quick- charging station.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Open the "Optimize menu.
|
||
|
|
2. Tap the Start battery heating function button.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The maximum possible DC charging capacity decreases at high charge levels.
