9-36 Driving and Operating DC Charging Station Hardware Typically, DC charging stations will be found in public locations and are not planned for residential home use. The vehicle is designed to take full advantage of a 55kW DC charger to obtain optimal charging times. When the vehicle is connected to a charger larger than 55kW, the vehicle will not charge any quicker. The DC vehicle plug is relatively large and can cause damage to personal property if not used correctly. Use caution when connecting to the DC charge port. Follow the steps listed on the charging station to perform a DC vehicle charge. Delayed Charging Override To temporarily override a delayed charge event, unplug the charge cord from the charge port and then plug it back in within five seconds. A single horn chirp will sound and charging will begin immediately. To cancel a temporary override, unplug the charge cord, wait for 10 seconds, and then plug the charge cord back in. A double horn chirp will sound and charging will be delayed. See Programmable Charging Modes on page 5-20 for advanced charge scheduling options. Charging Status Feedback The vehicle has a Charging Status Indicator (CSI) at the center of the instrument panel near the windshield. When the vehicle is plugged in and the vehicle power is off, the CSI indicates the following: . Solid Green - Vehicle is plugged in. Battery is not fully charged. Battery is charging.
