Charging Do's And Don'ts - TATA Motors TIGOR EV 2021 Owner's Manual

CHARGING DO'S AND DON'TS

• The charging gun provided for home
charging has to be stored safely and
securely in the trunk of the vehicle or
has to be plugged on to the Home
Charging Box in locked condition.
• The wall box charging unit is also used
for slow or home charging. It comes
with a key and lock. It is recommended
to lock the home charging box when
the vehicle is kept for overnight charg-
ing or when nobody is around while the
vehicle is being slow charged. This en-
sures that the charging unit along with
the charging gun cannot be misused or
stolen.
• Wet surfaces are good conductors of
electricity. Though the vehicle is
equipped with safety mechanisms to
protect users, it is advisable to take a
few precaution while plugging in for
charging. Hence, before charging, en-
sure that the power source socket, the
charging gun and the charging port
(CCS2) port in the vehicle are dry. Also
ensure that you are standing on dry
ground and your hands are dry as well
while using the high voltage charging
equipment.
• Usage of damaged cables, Power
Source socket and vehicle side CCS2
port must be avoided as they may re-
sult in electrical hazard and inconsis-
tent charging experience.
• While plugging in for home charging,
ensure power source is off. Subse-
quently ensure charging gun is con-
nected at both ends – One at power
source and the other at vehicle's CCS2
port. Then switch ON the power source
switch to commence charging. Confirm
that the vehicle is charging from the
green charging tell tale displayed on
the instrument cluster. The cluster re-
mains ON to display charging status
for 60 sec after the start of charging.
• If charging gun is removed before
100% charging and again needs
charging upto 100%, it is advisable to
wait for at least 10 seconds before
reinserting the gun in the charging
port.
CHARGING DO'S AND DON'TS
• Once charging is complete and gun is
removed from the charging port, it is
advisable to pause for 30 sec before
switching on the car to start driving.
• When the vehicle is shuttoff after drive,
it is advisable to pause for at least 10-
15 sec before charging. It allows the
vehicle's electrical system time to de-
energize and stabilize before the
charging commences.
