The 800 volt platform delivers up to 400 kW DC charging power and supports fast 4C charging, allowing it to be charged from 10% to 80% in just 18 minutes under optimal conditions and Plug & Charge functionality enables seamless and secure authentication at compatible charging stations.

A Vehicle-to-Load power outlet with 230V integrated into the charging port allows users to charge electronic devices on the go.
