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 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 a
weatherproof electrical outlet.
.
Mount the charging cord to
reduce strain on the electrical
outlet/plug.
{
