Charging the Vehicle
Electrical outlets
Ideally, the AC outlet should be grounded
and on a dedicated circuit rated at 15A or
more. That means there should be no other
major appliances connected to the same
circuit.
If a non dedicated circuit is used, the
current rating of the wall outlet circuit
breaker could be exceeded and cause it to
trip or open.
If you are having issues using the charging
cord at a particular wall outlet, try the
following:
• Use another wall outlet if available
• Remove other loads on the same circuit
• Charge the vehicle in reduced level
mode using the charge rate switch
Extension cords
WARNING: Use of an extension cord
may increase the risk of electric shock
or other hazards.
The use of an extension cord is not
recommended. If an extension cord is used
because of limited access to a power outlet,
please observe the following guidelines:
• The wall outlet should be RCD
protected.
• The extension cord should be RCD
protected.
• The extension cord should be 12 or 14
gage, and must be a 3 pin conductor.
• The extension cord should be rated for
outdoor usage.
Note: The charging cord automatically
detects the amount of current it can draw
from the wall outlet. Using an extension
cord with a long cord or smaller gage
conductors may prevent the vehicle from
charging.
