Charging the traction

battery (Electric)

Before disconnecting the nozzle from the

charging connector:

Cooling the traction battery

Principle

The cooling fan in the engine compartment

comes on during charging to cool the on-

board charger and the traction battery.

► If the vehicle is locked, unlock it.

For more information, refer to

the General recommendations on

electrified vehicles and the Specific

recommendations on rechargeable hybrid

or electric vehicles.

► If the vehicle is unlocked, lock it and then

unlock it.

Low charging / Driving

If selective unlocking of the doors is

activated, press the unlocking button on

the remote control twice to disconnect the

nozzle.

Driving when the charge level of the

traction battery is too low can lead to the

vehicle breaking down and can lead to

accidents or serious injuries. ALWAYS make

sure the traction battery has a sufficient

charge level.

To recharge, connect the vehicle to a domestic

electricity supply (domestic or accelerated

charging) or to a fast public charger (superfast

charging).

The red indicator lamp in the flap goes out to

confirm that the nozzle is unlocked.

For a full charge, follow the desired charging

procedure without pausing it, until it ends

automatically. Charging can be either immediate

or deferred (except fast public charger, mode 4).

You can stop domestic or accelerated charging

at any time by unlocking the vehicle and

removing the nozzle. For superfast charging,

refer to the fast public charger.

► Within 30 seconds, remove the charging

Low charging / Parking

nozzle.

If the outside temperature is negative, it

is recommended not to park your vehicle

outside for several hours at a low charging

(less than 20%).

Domestic charging (mode 2)

The end of charging is confirmed when the

green CHARGE indicator lamp on the control

unit comes on fixed and the green light guides in

the flap come on fixed.

For more information on the charging displays

on the Instrument panel and the Touch screen,

refer to the corresponding section.

Practical information

For superfast charging

Vehicle in storage for more than 1

month

Before charging

►

Have a professional check that the

electrical system to be used complies

with applicable standards and is

compatible with the vehicle.

In the event of a long period of non-use

of the vehicle (beyond 4 weeks) without

the possibility of charging when restarting,

the self-discharge may make it impossible

to restart if the traction battery charge level

is a low or very low, especially at negative

ambient temperatures. ALWAYS make sure

that the traction battery has a charge between

20% and 40% if you do not plan to use your

vehicle for several weeks.

Do not connect the charging cable.

Always park the vehicle in a place with

temperatures between -10°C and 30°C

(parking in a place with extreme temperatures

can damage the traction battery).

Disconnect the cable from the (+) terminal

of the accessory battery in the engine

compartment.

Connect a 12 V battery charger to the (+)

and (-) terminals of the accessory battery

about every 3 months in order to recharge the

accessory battery and maintain an operating

voltage.

Refer to the 12 V battery/Accessory

batteries section for the battery

disconnection procedure.

Check that the fast public charging station

and its charging cable are compatible with the

vehicle.

If the exterior temperature is below:

► Have a professional electrician install

a dedicated domestic power socket

or accelerated charging unit (Wallbox)

compatible with the vehicle.

► 0°C, charging times may be extended.

► -20°C, charging is still possible, but

charging times may be extended even

further (the battery has to be heated first).

You should preferably use the charging cable

available as an accessory.

For more information, contact a PEUGEOT

dealer or a qualified workshop.

After charging Check that the charging flap

is closed.

During charging

Deferred charging

While charging is in progress, unlocking

the vehicle will cause the charging to stop.If

no action is taken on one of the openings

(door or boot) or on the charging nozzle, the

vehicle will lock again after 30 seconds and

charging will resume automatically.

Never work under the bonnet:

By default, the deferred charging start time is set

to be around midnight.

Depending on equipment, this time can be

changed.

Settings

► In the Energy touch screen appli-

cation, select the Charging tab.

► Some areas remain very hot, even an

hour after charging ends - risk of burns!

► Set the charging start time.

► The fan may start at any time - risk of cuts

or strangulation!

► Press OK to confirm.

Precautions

The setting is saved in the system.

After charging

For domestic or accelerated charging

You can also programme the defer-

red charging function using a smart-

phone, via the MYPEUGEOT APP

application.

Check that the charging flap is closed.

Do not leave the cable connected to the

domestic power socket - risk of short-circuit

or electrocution in the event of contact with or

immersion in water!
