Charging performance
The Flash Charge technology delivers charging performance with “5 minutes 10% to 70%, 9 minutes 10% to 97%” capabilities. Even in extreme cold conditions at minus 30°C, charging time increases by only 3 minutes, thanks to comprehensive optimisations in the battery thermal management system that ensure stable charging across all temperature ranges.
