In addition, a direct line from the LIM control unit to the electrical machine electronics (EME) is present. The electrical machine electronics (EME) starts the voltage conversion and thus the charging procedure only if the LIM control unit enables the charging procedure via a signal on this line.
The following components are connected to the charging interface module (LIM):
- Central locking drive, charging socket cover
- Central locking drive, charging socket
- High-voltage charging socket
- Status display, charging
