electrical energy/power storage device shall be charged according to the following procedure.

       3.2.2.5.1. Normal overnight charge procedure

        The charging is carried out:

            (a) with the on board charger if fitted, or

            (b) with an external charger recommended by the manufacturer using the charging pattern prescribed for normal charging;

            (c) in an ambient temperature comprised between 20 ºC and 30 ºC.

        This procedure excludes all types of special charges that could be automatically or manually initiated like, for instance, the equalisation charges or the servicing charges.  The manufacturer shall declare that during the test, a special charge procedure has not occurred.

       3.2.2.5.2. End of charge criteria

        The end of charge criteria corresponds to a charging time of 12 hours, except if a clear indication is given to the driver by the standard instrumentation that the electrical energy/power storage device is not yet fully charged.

        In this case,

       3.2.3. Test procedure

       3.2.3.1. The vehicle shall be started up by the means provided for normal use to the driver.  The first cycle starts on the initiation of the vehicle start-up procedure

       3.2.3.2. Sampling shall begin (BS) before or at the initiation of the vehicle start up procedure and end on conclusion of the final idling period in the extra-urban cycle (Part Two, end of sampling (ES)).

       3.2.3.3. The vehicle shall be driven using the applicable driving cycle and gear shifting prescriptions as defined in paragraph 1.4. to this annex.

       3.2.3.4. The exhaust gases shall be analysed according to Annex 4 of Regulation No. 83 in force at the time of approval of the vehicle.

       3.2.3.5. The test results on the combined cycle (CO2 and fuel consumption) for Condition A shall be recorded (respectively m1 [g] and c1 [l]).

       3.2.4. Within the 30 minutes after the conclusion of the cycle, the electrical energy/power storage device shall be charged according to paragraph 3.2.2.5. of this annex)

        The energy measurement equipment, placed between the mains socket and the vehicle charger, measures the charge energy e1 [Wh] delivered from the mains.

       3.2.5. The electric energy consumption for condition A is e1 [Wh].

       3.3. Condition B

       3.3.1. Conditioning of the vehicle

       3.3.1.1. The electrical energy/power storage device of the vehicle shall be discharged according to paragraph 3.2.1.1. of this annex.

        At the manufacturer's request, a conditioning according to paragraph 3.2.2.1. or 3.2.2.2. of this annex may be carried out before electrical energy / power storage discharge.

       3.3.1.2. Before testing, the vehicle shall be kept in a room in which the temperature remains relatively constant between 293 and 303 K (20 °C and 30 °C).  This conditioning shall be carried out for at least six hours and continue until the engine oil temperature and coolant, if any, are within
