Important Information about
Portable Electric Vehicle Charging
.
Charging an electric vehicle can
stress a building
’
s electrical
system more than a typical
household appliance.
.
Before plugging 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 may 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 charge cord to reduce
strain on the electrical
outlet/plug.
.
Do not place the charge cord in
a position where it is expected to
be submerged in water.

multi-outlet power strips,
splitters, grounding
adaptors, surge protectors,
