Want to minimise your car battery charging times?
Ambient temperatures below 25°C can adversely affect how quickly your electric vehicle charges at the more powerful public charging stations. That’s why our latest EV’s are equipped with pre-conditioning technology that prepares the battery, bringing it to the right temperature before you reach a DC station.
This function automatically activates when you select a DC Station to navigate to, from the vehicle infotainment system. With this intuitive technology, electric car charging has never been simpler.
