Important Information About

Charging an electric vehicle can
stress a building

s electrical
system more than a typical
household appliance.

Before you plug into any
electrical outlet, have a qualified
electrician inspect and verify the
electrical system (electrical
outlet, wiring, junctions, and
protection devices) for
heavy-duty service at a 12 amp
continuous load.

Electrical outlets may wear out
with normal usage or be
damaged over time, making
them unsuitable for electric
vehicle charging.
.
Check the electrical outlet/plug
while charging and discontinue
use if the electrical outlet/plug is
hot, then have the electrical
outlet serviced by a qualified
electrician.
.
When outdoors, plug into an
electrical outlet that is
weatherproof while in use.

Mount the charging cord to
reduce strain on the electrical
outlet/plug.
