Wall charging and charging cables

• Careful handling of the charging cable: Do not fold it or bend it over sharp edges
• Do not submerge it in liquid
• Do not expose it to strong sunlight (exterior temperatures no higher than 50 °C)
• Do not drop
• Do not get the charging cable dirty
• Never use damaged charging plugs and charging cables – check charging plugs and cables for damages or dirt before use

No, wallbox installation and commissioning can only be carried out by a specialist company, as a high-voltage connection is required for the wall charging station. You can find out more about the Ohme home charger and installation below.

Frequent DC charging (quick charging) can lead to a permanent decrease in the high-voltage battery’s storage capacity. We therefore recommend charging your electric vehicle primarily with an alternating current (wallbox, charging cable or at public AC charging stations). This increases your battery’s service life and saves important resources that are needed to manufacture new high-voltage batteries.

When removing the charging cable from the vehicle and the power supply, please only pull on the plugs and not the cable itself. Once you have removed the plug, you can simply replace the protective cap of the charging cable.

Once the charging process is finished, the charging plug should be disconnected from the vehicle.

No, the vehicle recognises the battery’s charge status itself. The car automatically regulates the energy supply and stops it as soon as the battery is fully charged.

We recommend having the installation checked by a certified electrician before charging at home for the first time. Not all households and electrical connections are suitable for charging vehicles in the long-term.
