NOTE:
During normal operation, the charge connector or AC
plug may feel warm. If either one feels hot during charg-
ing, unplug the Portable Charging Cordset (EVSE) and
have a qualified electrician inspect the wall outlet
before you continue charging
page 272.
WARNING!
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE OR
ELECTRIC SHOCK: Do not use the Portable Charging
Cordset (EVSE) with an outlet that is worn or dam-
aged. Failure to follow this warning can result in
electrical shock, fire, property damage, and death or
serious injury.
AC LEVEL 2 CHARGING
(240 VOLT, 40 AMP)
AC Level 2 (240 Volt) charging requires a 240 Volt,
Level 2 Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) charg-
ing station. A 40 Amp Level 2 EVSE for home installa-
tion is recommended. The Level 2 EVSE connects to a
40 Amp circuit breaker and delivers 32 Amp maximum
to the vehicle.
When using public charging stations, ensure the charg-
ing station is ready to provide charge and the vehicle is
in PARK before the Level 2 EVSE is plugged into the
vehicle’s charge inlet. You will hear a “click” when the
charge connector is inserted correctly and is coupled
with the vehicle’s charge inlet.
NOTE:
The vehicle should start charging automatically. If not,
please check the following:
•
Charging Station — Check the indications and
instructions at the charging station.
•
Charging Schedule — Check whether the charging
schedule is enabled and if so, whether the vehicle is
currently within the scheduled charge time/day
(weekday/weekend). If the charging schedule is
enabled within the vehicle, you may override it for
this charging event by plugging in the charge con-
nector, unplugging it, and then plugging it back into
the vehicle charge inlet. Complete the double plug
sequence within 10 seconds for it to override the set
schedule.
•
Hood Ajar — Check whether the hood is open.
Charging is disabled while the hood is open, and will
resume when the hood closes.
To stop the charging process:
•
Press the button located on the Level 2 EVSE
vehicle connector.
•
Remove the connector from the vehicle charge inlet.
•
Plug the charge handle into the Level 2 EVSE station
and coil the charging cord onto its holder. Do not
leave the charging cord lying on the ground.
CHARGING TIMES
The following factors determine the time it takes to
charge the high voltage battery:
•
The high voltage battery’s current State Of Charge
(SOC)
•
The type of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment
(EVSE) used (Level1–120VorLevel2–240V)
•
Ambient temperature
•
Whether the vehicle’s ignition is in the RUN position
during charging
NOTE:
•
The following charging times are estimates based
on charging a high voltage battery that has a <1%
State Of Charge (SOC) value displayed in the instru-
ment cluster.
