GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
HIGH VOLTAGE CHARGING OPERATION
SAE J1772 CHARGING INLET
Your vehicle uses an industry standard SAE
J1772 charge inlet (vehicle charge inlet) for both AC
Level 1 (120 V) and AC Level 2 (240 V) charging.
Vehicle Charge Inlet Location
Open the charge port door by pushing near the rear
outer edge of the door, near the center to unlatch. To
close the charge port door, engage the door latch by

AC LEVEL 1 CHARGING (120 VOLT,
12 AMP)
Your vehicle is equipped with a 120 Volt AC, SAE J1772
Level 1 Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE), also
referred to as a Portable Charging Cordset (EVSE). AC
Level 1 charging requires a conventional NEMA 5-15R
120 Volt AC grounded wall outlet along with the Por-
table Charging Cordset (EVSE) provided with the
vehicle.
