this annex.
              2.1.2. As an alternative to paragraph 2.1.1. of this appendix, at the request of the manufacturer and upon approval of the responsible authority, the state of charge of the REESS for the charge-sustaining Type 1 test may be set according to the manufacturer's recommendation in order to achieve a test under charge-sustaining operating condition.
              In such a case, a preconditioning procedure, such as that applicable to pure ICE vehicles as described in paragraph 2.6. of Annex B6, shall be applied.
              2.1.3. Soaking of the vehicle shall be performed according to paragraph 2.7. of Annex B6.
              2.2. Preconditioning and soaking when the test procedure starts with a charge-depleting test
              2.2.1. OVC-HEVs and OVC-FCHVs shall be driven over at least one applicable WLTP test cycle. During each driven preconditioning cycle, the charging balance of the REESS shall be determined. The preconditioning shall be stopped at the end of the applicable WLTP test cycle during which the break-off criterion is fulfilled according to paragraph 3.2.4.5. of this annex.
              2.2.2. Soaking of the vehicle shall be performed according to paragraph 2.7. of Annex B6. Forced cooling down shall not be applied to vehicles preconditioned for the Type 1 test. During soak, the REESS shall be charged using the normal charging procedure as defined in paragraph 2.2.3. of this appendix.
              2.2.3. Application of a normal charge
              Normal charging is the transfer of electricity to an electrified vehicle with a power of less than or equal to 22 kW.
              Where there are several possible methods to perform a normal AC charge (e.g. cable, induction, etc.), the charging procedure via cable shall be used.
              Where there are several AC charging power levels available, the highest normal charging power shall be used. An AC charging power lower than the highest normal AC charging power may be selected if recommended by the manufacturer and by approval of the responsible authority.
              2.2.3.1. The REESS shall be charged at an ambient temperature as specified in paragraph 2.2.2.2. of Annex B6 with the on-board charger if fitted.
              In the following cases, a charger recommended by the manufacturer and using the charging pattern prescribed for normal charging shall be used if:
              (a) No on-board charger is fitted, or
                  (b) The charging time exceeds the soaking time defined in paragraph 2.7. of Annex B6.
              The procedures in this paragraph exclude all types of special charges that could be automatically or manually initiated, e.g. equalization charges or servicing charges. The manufacturer shall declare that, during the test, a special charge procedure has not occurred.
              2.2.3.2. End-of-charge criterion
              The end-of-charge criterion is reached when the on-board or external instruments indicate that the REESS is fully charged. If the charging is performed during soaking and
