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.
