rent Circuit-Breaker (RCCB). If it
is not, have one installed by a
duly qualified professional.
When charging outdoors, make
sure to connect to a rain-tight
socket that is certified for outdoor
use. Checking Residual Current
Circuit-Breaker (RCCB) opera-
tion before its use is recom-
mended.
Check whether there are any
local EV-charging regulations in
place, and adhere to them.

electrician.
■
The charging environment
For safe charging, the following
charging equipment and settings are
recommended.
Rain-tight socket
●
When charging outdoors, connect the
plug to a rain-tight socket, and ensure
that the plug remains waterproof while
the plug is connected.
●
Dedicated circuit
• To reduce the risk of fire, connect only
to an at least 13A branch circuit with
an over-current protection.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock
when working with the plug, connect
to a socket that has a Residual Cur-
rent Circuit-Breaker (RCCB) installed.
Remote switch
●
Allows the electricity from the socket to
be interrupted by operating a switch,
thus allowing safe removal and insertion
of the plug on rainy days.
