If you purchase the recommended 220V charging station, it comes equipped with a
hardwired charging cord with J1772 standard connection as shown.
The J1772 charge port receptacle on the car is an industry standard, so your car can be
charged from any 120V or 240V public charging station equipped with the J1772 connector.
B. CHARGING THE VEHICLE
To charge the batteries, park the vehicle, put it in Park, set the parking brake, and turn
the key OFF. Open the charge port door by pulling up the release lever to the left of the
driver
’
s seat on the floor. If you are using a charging station, line up the pins and plug the
cord from the station into the car.
If you are using the 120V cord, plug the power cord into the power source first and
then plug the cord into the vehicle. (You may use a UL listed 120-Volt 3-wire grounded
extension cord if needed. Use a 14-gauge cord for lengths 25 feet or less and a 12-gauge
cord for lengths 50 feet or less.)
WARNING
Use only the correct gauge 120V extension cords as listed above. An incorrect
gauge extension cord could result in fire or heat damage.
The charging status lights are located in the charging port. When the vehicle is charging,
the three LEDs in the charge port will flash, indicating power input to the charger. (If you
are using the 120V cord, only one LED will flash green, indicating that only one of the three
on-board chargers are being used.)
If the car is turned on during charging, an indicator light will be activated to remind you to
disconnect the charge cord.
When the charging cycle has completed, the green LED(s) in the charging port will stay lit.
A storage bag has been provided for your 120V power cord so it can be easily kept in the
vehicle at all times.
Whenever possible, you should charge your car. Lithium batteries are different from lead
acid in that lithium batteries will lose their charge if they are sitting idle. If you plan to go
on vacation and leave your car in your garage, it must be plugged in. The charging system
will
“
wake up
”
periodically and recharge the battery if needed. If the car is left unplugged,
your batteries will gradually lose their charge. If your batteries are allowed to fully
discharge, your battery warranty will be voided.
