Important Information About
Portable Electric Vehicle Charging
Charging an electric vehicle can
stress a building s electrical
system more than a typical
household appliance.
Before you plug in to any
electrical outlet, have a qualified
electrician inspect and verify the
electrical system (electrical
outlet, wiring, junctions, and
protection devices) for
heavy-duty service at a 12 amp
continuous load.
Electrical outlets may wear out
with normal usage or be
damaged over time, making
them unsuitable for electric
vehicle charging.
Check the electrical outlet/plug
while charging and discontinue
use if the electrical outlet/plug is
hot, then have the electrical
outlet serviced by a qualified
electrician.
When outdoors, plug into an
electrical outlet that is
weather-proof while in use.
Mount the charging cord to
reduce strain on the electrical
outlet/plug.
Warning
Improper use of portable electric
vehicle charge cords may cause
a fire, electrical shock, or burns,
and may result in damage to
property, serious injury, or death.
