The charging port light in the charging lid indicates the status for the traction battery and not whether the car is  
consuming power, for example when the climate control is in use. Even if the charging port light indicates that charging  
is complete or that scheduled charging is active, the car may still draw power from the port.

7.5. Plug & Charge  
Plug & Charge is an authentication and billing system that simplifies your charging experience.  
Plug & Charge is enabled by ISO 15118, the international standard for charging electric cars. When using Plug & Charge, you  
don't need to use additional cards, apps or manual authentication steps. Instead, you can just connect the charging cable to  
your car which automatically recognises and authenticates your car, allowing the charging process to start.  
The number of charging stations that support Plug & Charge is limited and all types of charging might not be supported. If the  
charging station doesn't support Plug & Charge, you need to authorise yourself at the charger.  
There are other ways that can help you simplify your charging process. By using certain car parameters, you can connect the in-  
formation to different apps and charging providers. Your car can then be automatically identified at the charging station,  
without any need for additional cards. However, the car's displays won't show any information or instructions for these  
methods.  
7.5.1. Activating Plug & Charge  
You can activate Plug & Charge in the charging view. This can simplify the charging process, from  
authentication to billing.  
Note  
Plug & Charge is included in the charging view but may not be available in your country. This is because e-mobility  
service providers[1], charging stations and other infrastructure need to support Plug & Charge in your country before the  
feature can be used.  
1.  
Press the car symbol  
in the bottom bar and go to Settings.  
2. Go to Charging → Advanced settings → Plug & Charge.
