Yes, the charging time is influenced by several factors. These include:
- the available power rating of the energy infrastructure
- the passenger compartment preconditioning
- the charge state and the temperature of the high-voltage battery
- the settings that were activated on the charger or energy manager
When charging at home, the customer-specific domestic installation is also an important factor.
With AC charging, the power output of the on-board charger installed in the vehicle makes a real difference.
The charging times can therefore differ significantly from the specified values.

The installation of domestic charging equipment can be considered a structural change.
We recommend that you coordinate with all parties involved before installation; these might include, e.g., your electricity supplier, your municipal authorities or housing community and, if required, your landlord.

In order to be able to use the price-optimised charging function, in addition to the setting in the Home Energy Manager you must also activate the charging timer in the vehicle. If you have not set the charging timer, your vehicle will automatically be charged at maximum power. In addition, without communication via the EEBus protocol, the corresponding charging functions cannot be executed. Ensure that both devices (Home Energy Manager and Mobile Charger Connect/Plus) are in the same network. Make sure that a two-way connection has been established. Both the Home Energy Manager and the Mobile Charger Connect/Plus must be paired with one another. For further information, please refer to the "EEBus" chapter in the Installation Manual and in the instructions for the web application.
The maximum charging current can be set in the Mobile Charger Connect web application or on the device itself (static limitation).

In addition, the charging speed decreases as the charge state of the high-voltage battery increases. It may therefore even be useful to only charge the battery to approx. 80 % or until the required range is reached. Allowing it to discharge to 20% and charging it slowly to 80% also protects the
The range is influenced by various factors, such as the driving style, comfort functions, aerodynamics and road conditions. The most important factor is your driving style: environmentally-aware and anticipatory driving behaviour promotes brake energy recovery and thereby increases the range of the vehicle. In addition, you can reduce the strength of your comfort functions such as the air-conditioning system and heating, and only fit add-on parts that influence the aerodynamics (e.g. roof boxes) when required.
As a result of the comfort functions used in cold weather, e.g. the heating, the range of your vehicle may be reduced. The use of the convenient preconditioning function during charging can minimise this result as the required heating power is provided by the power grid.
At low temperatures, the charging performance of your high-voltage battery can also be restricted. Using the
Country-specific stipulations and approvals may restrict the use of charging equipment abroad. Consult the Driver's Manual and contact your

If, during an active charging operation (vehicle plug is plugged in), the charger is disconnected from the infrastructure (power supply is cut off), then the charger is switched off.
No entry is made in the error memory, as without power supply nothing can be saved.
If the vehicle plug is still plugged in when the power supply is restored, the charger starts quite normally and the charging operation continues.
If your vehicle is not charging or not with the desired charging performance, the following points, which could lead to restrictions in the charging process, should be checked:
- Was a charging timer activated?
- Was a charging profile created?
- Were local settings made on the charger, e.g. reduction of the charging performance to 50%?
- Were local settings made in the Home Energy Manager?
At low temperatures, the charging performance of your high-voltage battery can also be restricted. If the charging performance falls to below 6 A, the charging process stops and is not restarted automatically.
