Special Features when Charging Your Volkswagen Passat GTE:
The Volkswagen Passat GTE is another plug-in hybrid in the Volkswagen range. The Passat GTE comes with a 9.9 kWh battery, which offers an electric driving range of 50 km (according to NEDC). The range may be affected by elements such as road conditions, your driving style and the season. You can charge your Volkswagen Passat GTE at home with ease using a wallbox. It takes just around 2.5 hours to charge the 9.9 kWh battery fully at a charging power of 3.6 kWh. You can also charge the Volkswagen Passat GTE from a fused domestic socket at a charging power of 2.3 kW, but will need a type 2 plug and a mode 2 charging cable to do so. We advise our customers not to charge their electric cars from domestic sockets in the long term, however, since charging your car from a domestic socket will place the maximum load on the socket for approximately 4 hours and therefore poses a safety risk. The 3.7 kW wallbox will not only allow you to charge your Volkswagen Passat GTE safely, but also nearly one and a half times as quickly as using a domestic socket.
