The simplest recharging option is to plug the charging cable supplied with the car into a conventional 230-volt socket. A completely depleted battery is recharged in this way within nine hours. The (completely flat) battery would thus be fully recharged after six hours. The battery is then 80% recharged after just 30 minutes.
