Using an AC Charger

Charge your electric vehicle using an AC charging cable installed in public charging stations or at your professionally installed Level 2 AC home charger.

To find a nearby public charging station, refer to the Using Electric Vehicle Functions.

Before charging the vehicle, carefully read and follow the instructions in 'Safety Precautions for Charging Your Electric Vehicle' to prevent property damage or injury due to electric shock, fire, explosion, etc.

To prevent property damage or injury due to fire or explosion, follow the instructions below.

Only use the genuine AC charging cable provided by the manufacturer (if equipped).
Do not use an extension cable.
Check the rated voltage and maximum charging current required for charging, and ensure that the charger power you are using meets the requirements.
Immediately stop charging if you discover abnormal conditions, such as odor or smoke.
