This vehicle has been designed to allow
charging from an external power source
using an AC charging cable for exclusive
use with standard household AC sock-
ets.
However, the vehicle differs greatly from
standard household electrical goods in
the following ways, and incorrect usage
could cause fire or electric shock, possi-
bly leading to death or serious injury.
When charging, a large amount of cur-
