Programmable Charging
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 plugging into 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 may 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
weatherproof while in use.
.
Mount the charging cord to
reduce strain on the electrical
outlet/plug.
{
Danger
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.
.
Do not use extension cords,
multi-outlet power strips,
splitters, grounding
adaptors, surge protectors,
or similar devices.
.
Do not use an electrical
outlet that is worn or
damaged, or will not hold
the plug firmly in place.
.
Do not use an electrical
outlet that is not properly
grounded.
