Peugeot 2008: Practical information / Charging the traction battery (Electric)

To recharge, connect the vehicle to a domestic electrical system (for domestic or accelerated charging) or a fast public charging station (for fast charging).

For a full charge, follow the desired charging procedure without pausing it, until it ends automatically. Charging may be performed either immediately or deferred.

You can stop charging at any time by unlocking the vehicle and removing the nozzle.

For more information on the charging displays on the Instrument panel and the Touch screen, refer to the corresponding section.

Depending on version, the deferred charge function is configured via either the touch screen or the MyPeugeot application.

For more information on the Deferred charging function, refer to the corresponding section.

It is also possible to monitor the charging progress using the MyPeugeot application.

For more information on Remotely operable features, refer to the corresponding section.

As a safety measure, the engine will not start if the charging cable is plugged into the connector on the vehicle. A warning is displayed on the instrument panel.

Cooling the traction battery

The cooling fan comes on during charging to cool the on-board charger and the traction battery.

Vehicle not used for an extended period

Fully recharge the traction battery every three months. Follow the domestic charging procedure.

Before carrying out this charging operation, check that the accessory battery is not disconnected or discharged. If it is, refer to the corresponding section for information on reconnecting or recharging it.

Precautions

Electric vehicles were developed in accordance with the guidelines on maximum electromagnetic fields issued by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection  (ICNIRP - 1998 Guidelines).

Wearers of pacemakers or equivalent devices should consult a doctor to enquire about any applicable precautionary measures, or contact the manufacturer of their implanted electronic medical device to check that it is guaranteed to operate in an environment compliant with the ICNIRP guidelines.

If in doubt

Domestic or accelerated charging: do not remain inside or near the vehicle, or near the charging cable or charging unit, even for a short time.

Fast charging: do not use the system yourself and avoid approaching public fast charging points. Leave the area and ask a third party to recharge the vehicle.

For domestic or accelerated charging

Before charging

Depending on the context:

• Have a professional check that the electrical system to be used complies with applicable standards and is compatible with the vehicle.
• Have a professional electrician install a dedicated domestic power socket or accelerated charging unit (Wallbox) compatible with the vehicle.

Use the charging cable supplied with the vehicle.

(During charging)

Never work under the bonnet:

Some areas remain very hot, even an hour after charging ends - risk of burns!

The fan may start at any time - risk of cuts or strangulation!

After charging

Check that the charging flap is closed.

Do not leave the cable connected to the domestic power socket - risk of short-circuit or electrocution in the event of contact with or immersion in water!

For fast charging

Before charging

Check that the fast public charging station and its charging cable are compatible with the vehicle.

If the exterior temperature is below:

• 0°C, charging times may be extended.
• -20°C, charging is still possible, but charging times may be extended even further (the battery has to be heated first).

(During charging)

Do not remain in or near the vehicle.

While charging is in progress, opening the driver's door will interrupt charging.

After charging

Check that the charging flap is closed.

Connection

• Before charging, check that the drive selector is in mode  P and the ignition is off, otherwise charging is not possible.
• Open the charging flap by pressing the push-button, and check that there are no foreign bodies on the charging connector.

Domestic charging (mode 2)

• Connect the charging cable from the control unit to the domestic socket.

When the connection is made, all of the indicator lamps on the control unit light up, then only the POWER indicator lamp remains on in green.

• Remove the protective cover on the charging noozle.
• Insert the nozzle into the charging connector.

The start of charging is confirmed by the flashing in green of the  CHARGE  indicator lamps in the flap, then on the control unit.

If this is not the case, charging has not started; restart the procedure, ensuring that all connections are properly established.

The red indicator lamp in the flap comes on to indicate that the nozzle is locked.

If charging has finished but the cable is still connected, opening the driver's door restarts charging for around 20 seconds.

Accelerated charging (mode  3)

• Follow the instructions for use of the accelerated charging unit (Wallbox).
• Remove the protective cover on the charging noozle.
• Insert the nozzle into the charging connector.

The start of charging is confirmed by the flashing in green of the charging indicator lamp in the flap.

If this is not the case, charging has not started; restart the procedure, ensuring that the connection is correct.

The red indicator lamp in the flap comes on to indicate that the nozzle is locked.

Fast charging (mode 4)

• Depending on version, remove the protective cover from the lower section.
• Connect the charging cable to the vehicle connector, following the instructions for use of the fast public  charging station.

The start of charging is confirmed by the flashing in green of the charging indicator lamp in the flap.

If this is not the case, charging has not started; restart the procedure, ensuring that the connection is correct.

The red indicator lamp in the flap comes on to indicate that the nozzle is locked.

Disconnection

Before disconnecting the nozzle from the charging connector:

• If the vehicle is unlocked, lock it and then unlock it.
• If the vehicle is locked, unlock it.

The red indicator lamp in the flap goes out to confirm that the charging nozzle is unlocked.

• Within 30 seconds, remove the charging nozzle.

Domestic charging (mode 2)

When charging is complete, the green CHARGE indicator lamp on the control unit comes on fixed.

• Replace the protective cover on the charging nozzle and close the charging flap.
• Disconnect the control unit end of the charging cable from the domestic socket.

Accelerated charging (mode  3)

The end of charging is indicated by the charging control unit and by the fixed lighting of the green indicator lamp in the flap.

• Hang up the nozzle on the charging unit and close the charging flap.

Fast charging (mode  4)

The end of charging is indicated by the charger and by the fixed lighting of the green indicator lamp in the flap.

• Hang up the nozzle on the charging station.
• Depending on version, replace the protective cover on the lower section and close the charging flap.
