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 you plug in to 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 10 A 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 weather-
proof while in use.
● Mount the charging cable to
reduce strain on the electrical
outlet / plug.

station
Mode 3 charging cables are used for
charging at wall boxes and AC
charging stations. A mode 3 charging
cable provides a vehicle plug and a
plug for the wall box / AC charging
station. Wall boxes / AC charging
stations may provide an integrated
mode 3 charging cable. For more
information on the mode 3 charging
cable, refer to the manual of the
charging cable manufacturer.
Mode 4 charging cable
Notice
Only use DC charging cables shorter
than 30 metres.
Mode 4 charging cables are used for
DC charging. Since mode 4 charging
cables are integrated within DC
charging stations, they only provide a
vehicle plug.

Persons with a pacemaker or
