Peugeot 308: Charging system (Electric)

• 400 V electrical system
• Charging connectors and indicator lamps

400 V electrical system

For more information, refer to the General recommendations on electrified vehicles and the Specific recommendations on rechargeable hybrid or electric vehicles.

The electric drive system, which operates at a voltage of approximately 400 V, is identified by orange cables and its components are marked with this symbol:

An electric vehicle's power train can become hot during use and after switching off the ignition.

Comply with the warning messages shown on the labels, particularly inside the charging flap.

Traction battery

This battery stores the energy that powers the electric motor and the thermal comfort equipment in the passenger compartment. It is discharged during use, and must therefore be regularly recharged. There is no need to wait for the traction battery to fall to its reserve level before recharging.

The range of the battery may vary according to the type of driving, the route, the use of thermal comfort equipment and the ageing of its components.

The lifespan of the traction battery depends on multiple factors, such as climatic conditions, distance travelled and how often it has been fast-charged.

Charging connectors and indicator lamps

1. Charging connectors
2. Deferred charging activation button
3. Nozzle locking indicator lamp
   Fixed red: nozzle positioned correctly and locked in the connector.
   Flashing red: nozzle incorrectly positioned or locking not possible.
4. Charging indicator lamp

In case of impact, even light, against the charging flap, do not use it.

Do not dismantle or modify the charging connector - risk of electrocution and/or fire! Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
