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

Reduce AC charging current: instead of using the maximum charging current that is possible with the charging cable, charging takes  
place with a reduced charging current of 8 A (country-dependent). The setting is recommended if several large electrical consumers  
are operated simultaneously via the same circuit →  
.
Release AC charging cable automatically: the charging connector is unlocked automatically after charging and can be removed  
immediately, e.g. at the charging station at home. The function depends on the country.  
WARNING  
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.  
Profiles for charging locations can be created in the Infotainment system. The vehicle automatically recognises a stored charging  
location and adopts the settings when charging.  
Location data  
For a new charging location, the Infotainment system saves the current location data (geocoordinates) of the vehicle.  
Creating a profile  
1. Open the Charging main menu in the Infotainment system.  
2. Open the Charging loc. menu.  
3. Add and name the current location as a new charging location (maximum five).

Departure time (maximum of three) (→ Timer-controlled charging).  
Lower battery charge limit (0–50%) (→ Battery charge limits). The high-voltage battery is charged immediately after the charging cable  
is connected.  
Upper battery charge limit (50–100%) (→ Battery charge limits).  
Control by an external home energy management system (depending on vehicle equipment). The vehicle communicates with the home  
energy management system via the charging station .  
Preferred charging times (→ Timer-controlled charging).  
Display showing address or GPS coordinates.  
If a departure time is activated for the charging location, the charging method can be changed in the exit menu or in the  
Charging menu, e.g. from timer-controlled charging to immediate charging.  
Different charging settings can be stored for a charging location.
