BATTERY PRECONDITIONING
During a long journey and before arriving at a charging point, preconditioning allows the battery to reach the ideal temperature for optimising the charging speed (especially in cold weather). This means that it operates in the best conditions and delivers high and uniform charging power, regardless of the outside temperature.
Preconditioning can be triggered in 3 different ways: automatically with the on-board EV ROUTING, manually via the central screen (to be activated at least 30 minutes before charging), or remotely before departure via MyDS at the same time as cockpit preconditioning.
In-car EV ROUTING for perfect journeys
Plan your journeys as accurately as possible via the in-car EV Routing solution (included with DS IRIS SYSTEM). You will get an itinerary including the stops and time needed to charge your car, the details of each charge point, all while taking into account the range of your N°8 and traffic information. EV Routing adapts when conditions change (diversions, traffic etc...), so you enjoy the best possible journeys.
E-REMOTE CONTROL
From your MyDS app, stay up to date on the condition of your 100% electric car: check the range of your battery and its state of charge, schedule charging your car or its thermal pre-conditioning, at an exact time, on the day(s) of your choice.
¹ Figures shown for fuel consumption, CO₂ emissions and range conform to the WLTP test procedure on which new vehicles have been approved since 1st September 2018. The WLTP test replaces the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) which was the testing protocol used previously. With more realistic testing conditions, fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions measured to WLTP protocols are, in many cases, higher than those measured according to the NEDC procedure. Values for fuel consumption, CO₂ emissions and range can vary depending on conditions of use and different factors such as: frequency of charging, driving style, speed, specification, options, kinds of tyres, exterior temperature and temperature inside the vehicle. Ask your retailer for more information. More details here.
