General information
A time frame can be set for the charging proc-
ess, e.g., to charge with a cheap electricity rate.
Permissible volume of DC charging
The vehicle can also start the charging process
before the selected time frame begins or end
it after the selected time frame finishes. The
starting point of the charging process is ad-
justed so the vehicle can be as fully charged as
possible and, if applicable, its climate adjusted
by the departure time.
When the vehicle is charged at a DC charging
station, the noise emission during the charging
process can be limited, for instance to comply
with the local noise level restrictions. A limita-
tion of the noise emission can lead to longer
charging times.
