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. 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 outlet. Use of a block heater for charging is prohibited. 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.
