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 12 amp
continuous load.
.
Electrical outlets may wear out
with normal usage or be
damaged over time, making
them unsuitable for electric
vehicle charging.
