1. Open the Optimise menu.
2. Tap the Start battery heating function button.
Heating starts and the remaining time is displayed.
The maximum possible DC charging capacity decreases at high charge levels of the high-voltage battery.
The vehicle uses available solar power and charges in accordance with the specifications of the home energy management system.
Prerequisites
Compatible home energy management system (HEMS).
Compatible charging station.
A charging location has been created in the Infotainment system.
Ask a suitably qualified workshop for information on suitable home energy management systems. Volkswagen recommends
using an authorised Volkswagen repairer.
Function
If the household’s solar power system produces a surplus of energy, the high-voltage battery is charged with solar power.
Observe the operating instructions provided by the home energy management system manufacturer.
In order to reach the desired minimum charge level set in the Infotainment system, the vehicle can initially start the charging process
using conventional domestic electricity. The available solar power is then used.
The function can also be used with an activated departure time.
Charging times and charging planning
The vehicle creates a charging plan and uses charging times when solar power is available or when the electricity prices of a provider
are cheap. A solar power forecast of the home energy management system can also be taken into account. The preferred charging
times set in the charging location profile no longer apply to this function (→ Charging locations).
Domestic power monitor
The current domestic power flow is monitored during the charging process. Before an overload of the power grid can occur, the vehicle
automatically reduces the charging current.
Selecting charging with solar power in the Infotainment system
1. Connect the vehicle to the home energy management system.
2. Tap the drop-down list for the charging process in the Infotainment system, e.g. in the Charging menu.
3. Select Charge using solar power .
The charging process starts automatically.
Depending on the current infeed power of the solar power installation and the current domestic load situation, charging may
start earlier than usual and continue later. If necessary, the vehicle will automatically regulate the available charging phases for
safety reasons.
