Electrical Requirements
Select an AC outlet specifi cally for
charging your vehicle. It must be a
grounded, dedicated, 20 amp or greater,
three-prong wall plug. Make sure no
other major appliances are connected
to the same circuit. If other large loads
are included in the charging circuit, the
circuit breaker can trip.
The minimum requirements for circuits
used to charge this vehicle are:
•
Level 1 - 120 Volt / 16 Amp
•
Level 2 - 240 Volt / 20 Amp
•
Level 2 - High Power 240 Volt /
40+ Amp
Using the Level 2 (240V) EVSE or other
charging equipment with a rating of
at least 240V/20Amp will provide the
fastest charging time.
CAUTION: Do not use a
backup generator with the
charger. The vehicle's
charging system can become
damaged and can void your
manufacturer's warranty.
