CHARGING THE VEHICLE
WARNING: Improper use of portable
electric vehicle charge cords may
cause a fire, electrical shock, or burns, and
may result in damage to property, serious
injury, or death.
WARNING: Do not use extension
cords, multi-outlet power strips,
splitters, grounding adapters, surge
protectors, or similar devices.
WARNING: Do not use an electrical
outlet that is worn or damaged, or
will not hold the plug firmly in place.
WARNING: Do not use an electrical
outlet that is not properly grounded.
WARNING: Do not use an electrical
outlet that is on a circuit with other
electrical loads.
The high-voltage battery can be charged
through the electrical grid. When charging
from the electrical grid, there are three
levels:
Level 1: Charging is the most common. Most
vehicles come with a travel charger. This
charger eliminates the need for a charging
station to be installed at the vehicle
owner’s home. One end of a Level 1 charger
is a standard 120V AC three-prong
household plug. The other end is a
standard J1772 high-voltage vehicle
charge connector and provides two to five
miles of range per hour of charge.
Level 2: Charging utilizes a standard 240V
AC high-voltage vehicle charge connector
and is more commonly found in residential,
professionally-installed charging stations,
commercial charging, public parking, and
places of employment. Level 2 charging
can provide between 10 to 20 miles of
range per hour of charge. Level 2 can
charge at 3.3 kW or 6.6 kW. This depends
on wall outlet capabilities.
DC fast charging: Refers to 480V input
that is converted to directly charge the
high-voltage battery with DC. This utilizes a
J1772 Combined Charging System (CCS).
DC fast charging provides an approximate
range of 40 miles in 30 minutes or less.
1.
Position the vehicle so that the charging
cord can easily reach the charging port
on the vehicle
2.
Select Park [P] from the drive selection
button, then press the Start/Stop
button to turn the vehicle off
Note: If the cord is connected, the
vehicle will automatically switch to
Park [P]
3.
Open the charging port cover
4.
Locate a wall outlet (Standard US 120V,
16A)
5.
Insert charge plug into wall outlet
6.
Insert charge coupler into the charging
port
Note: Please refer to the charge cord
instructions, or charger manufacturers
instructions, for proper operation of
your charger.
Note: During charging or in high
ambient temperatures, the cooling fans
and coolant pumps may automatically
switch on for a period of time to cool the
cells in the battery. The fans and pumps
may be audible when in operation. This
is normal and not a cause for concern.
