the following ways, and incorrect usage could cause fire and/or elec-
tric shock, possibly leading to death or serious injury.
●
Large current flows for a long period of time.
●
Charging can be conducted outdoors.
To charge properly, follow the procedure after reading the explanation
below. Charging is intended to be carried out by licensed drivers only
who properly understand the charging procedure. Charging should
not be carried out by children.
■
Normal charging (

P. 181)
The traction battery can be charged from an AC outlet using the
vehicle’s charging cable or from charging equipment that is
installed at public charging stations or home.
■
Quick charging (if equipped) (

P. 195)
The traction battery is charged in a short time with quick chargers
that are compliant with the CHAdeMO (CHAdeMO is a trade name
of quick charging method) specifications.
The charging time varies depending on the battery temperature and the
type of a quick charger. However, the battery can only be charged from
when the SOC (State of Charge) warning light has come on up to 80%
in approximately 15 minutes.
In order to minimize decrease in the traction battery’s capacity, avoid
consecutive use of quick charging. Minimal use of quick charging is rec-
ommended.
The traction battery can be charged in the two ways: normal or
quick charging.
