High-voltage System and Charging -> Battery charge limits for Your Volkswagen ID.5 SUV First Generation (2021-2025)

Even if a reduced charging current is used, charging the high-voltage battery at an unsuitable electrical installation can cause a short  
circuit, electric shock, explosions and fire. There is a risk of damage, as well as serious or fatal injuries.  
Carry out charging only at a connection that has been installed and checked by qualified personnel.  
The charge level and thus the vehicle range can be adapted to everyday needs by means of the battery charge limits in the  
Infotainment system.  
Upper battery charge limit  
The upper battery charge limit limits the maximum charge level of the high-voltage battery to a value between 50 and 100%.  
Full charging of the high-voltage battery is not normally necessary in daily vehicle use.  
1. Move the touch slider to the desired value in the charging settings of the Infotainment system.  
The upper battery charge limit can also be adapted during charging.  
Lower batter charge limit  
A minimum charge level of between 0 and 50% can be set for the high-voltage battery in the profile of a stored charging location.  
The vehicle starts charging immediately after power is connected and charges to a minimum range.  
Only then are preferred charging times, off-peak times or a departure time for timer-controlled charging taken into consideration.  
1. Open the Charging main menu in the Infotainment system.  
2. Open the Charging loc. menu.  
3. Move the touch slider (0–50%) to the desired value in the profile of the charging location.  
For optimum setting of the battery charge limits in the Infotainment system, also observe the notes on battery care (→ Battery  
capacity).
