Using a DC Charger

If you need to charge the vehicle in a shorter time, you can charge at high speeds using a DC charger installed in public charging stations.

To find a nearby charging station, refer to the "Searching for nearby charging stations" section in this chapter.

Battery performance and life may deteriorate if the DC charger is used constantly. Use AC charging unless DC charging is necessary.

Charging with a DC charger

Follow the instructions below to charge the vehicle with a DC charger.

With the vehicle started, apply the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) while pressing the brake pedal.
Shift to P (Park) and shut vehicle off.
With the vehicle door unlocked, press the ŵ symbol on the charging door to open the charging door.
Check the charging connector and charging inlet for dust or other contaminants.
- If there is any dirt or contaminants, remove it using the air gun.
Do not touch the interior of the charging connector of the charging cable or the charging inlet on the vehicle.
Hold the charging connector handle, and connect it to the charging inlet on the vehicle. Push it until you hear a click.
- When charging starts, the estimated charging time will be displayed on the instrument cluster for a minute.
If you open the driver's door while charging, the estimated charging time will also be displayed on the instrument cluster for a minute.
When charging is complete, hold the charging connector handle and pull out the charging connector with the vehicle door unlocked to disconnect it from the charging inlet.
- Depending on the DC charger types, some DC chargers may not have a charger connector unlock button.
Before disconnecting the charging connector, check if there is an unlock button on the connector handle. If the connector handle is equipped with an unlock button, forcibly disconnecting the connector without pressing the button may damage the charging connector or charging inlet on the vehicle.
Press the charging door to completely close it.
