for the high power to charge the power battery. If no dedicated line is used, it may
affect the normal operation of other devices on the line.
■

●
Do not close the charge hatch when the charging port cover is opened.
●
Do not hit the charge device;
●
Do not place the charge device near a heater or any other heat source.
