The types of charging include AC

We recommend using AC (L2-nor

vehicle. You can use a AC charger at
public charging stations but charge

damage, prior to connecting to vehi
-
cle. Trickle charging cable (if
equipped) in the cargo compartment
of your car, can be used, but charge
times will be long. (Refer to
"Charging Electric Vehicle (AC
Charge)" on page 1-22)
DC Charge
You can DC charge at high speeds at
public charging stations, but always
confirm the charge nozzle is not
damaged, prior to connecting to
vehicle. Refer to the respective
company䳓s manual that is provided
for each DC charger type.
Battery performance and durability
can deteriorate if the DC charger is
used constantly.
Use of DC charge should be mini
-
mized in order to help prolong high
voltage battery life.
