Power sources that can be used

An external power source that fulfills the following criteria is necessary for charging this vehicle. Confirm this before charging.

Warning:

Warnings for electrical faults

Make sure to observe the precautions in this Owner’s Manual when charging the vehicle.

Failure to use a power source that fulfills the requirements, or failure to observe regulations while charging could lead to an accident, possibly resulting in death or serious injury.

Power sources

Connect to an AC 120 V outlet (NEMA 5-15R) with a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) and a circuit breaker. Use of a 15A individual circuit is strongly recommended to ensure AC charging cable will operate properly.

When charging outdoors, make sure to connect to a weatherproof outlet that is certified for outdoor use. Checking Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) operation before its use is recommended.

Outlets that can be connected

NEMA 5-15R outlet

The illustration is an example shown for demonstration purposes, and may differ from the actual configuration.

Note:

The charging environment

For safe charging, the following charging equipment and settings are recommended.

Weatherproof outlet

When charging outdoors, connect the plug to a weatherproof outlet, 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 15A branch circuit with an over-current protection in accordance with the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

To reduce the risk of electric shock when working with the plug, connect to a outlet with a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or that has an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker installed.

When your circuit breaker trips during charging (vehicles with 7-inch multi-information display)

The upper limit of the charging current can be changed in “ Vehicle Settings” on the multi-information display.

Press or of the meter control switches to select .

Press or of the meter control switches to select “ Vehicle Settings”, and then press and hold .

Press or of the meter control switches to select “ Charging Settings”, and then press . The “ Charging Settings” screen will be displayed.

Press or of the meter control switches to select “ Charging Current”, and then press . The “ Charging Current” screen will be displayed.

Press or of the meter control switches to select “ 16A”^*1 or “ 8A”, and then press . During charging, the maximum charging current will be restricted to the set current or lower.^*2

If the breaker still trips while charging, even after changing the upper limit of the charging current, check if the connected power source meets the specified charging conditions. (Power sources)

Warning:

Charging Power sources precautions Power sources precautions

Observe the following precautions.

If you do not follow them, fire, electrical shock or damage may occur, possibly resulting in death or serious injury.

Connect to an AC 120 V outlet (NEMA 5-15R) with a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) and supplied by a circuit breaker per your local code. Use of a 15A individual circuit is strongly recommended.

Do not connect the AC charging cable to a multi-outlet adaptor, multi-plugs, or conversion plug.

Connecting the AC charging cable to an extension cord is strictly prohibited. The extension cord may overheat and does not contain a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI).The leakage detection function of the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) (Electrical leakage detection function) may not operate correctly.

Do not connect to a branch electrical socket.

Make sure to connect the charging connector and AC charging inlet directly. Do not connect a converting adaptor or extension cord between the charging connector and AC charging inlet.
