The charging method for the Volkswagen Passat New Energy is: use a household portable charger and plug it into a household socket for charging. Taking the 2021 Volkswagen Passat New Energy as an example, its body structure is a four-door five-seater sedan, with body dimensions of: length 4948mm, width 1836mm, height 1469mm, wheelbase 2871mm, fuel tank capacity 50l, trunk capacity 400l, and curb weight 1730kg. The 2021 Volkswagen Passat New Energy has a front suspension of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension of multi-link independent suspension, equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 150PS, maximum power of 110kW, and maximum torque of 250Nm.
I've been driving a Passat PHEV for two years, and charging is actually quite simple. I installed a 7kW charging station at home—just plug in the charging cable when I get back from work, and it takes about four to five hours to fully charge the 18kWh battery. If you don't have a charging station, you can use the portable charging cable that comes with the car with a standard power outlet, though it's slower and takes about ten hours. I also frequently use public fast-charging stations—just find the DC fast-charging port, plug in, scan the QR code to start, and you can reach 80% charge in about half an hour. Note that before charging, you need to unlock the car doors and then open the charging cover. The charging connector must be inserted fully until you hear a click. During charging, a small lightning icon will appear on the dashboard, and the infotainment screen allows you to schedule charging to take advantage of off-peak electricity rates.
