the indentation on the charge port door to open it. To
close, press and hold the indentation until the door
rotates and closes. A light ring, divided into four separate
quadrants surrounds the charge port. It indicates the
charge status of your high voltage batteries while charging. For your convenience the Focus Electric comes equipped with a 120V charge cord, but we recommend that you
talk to your dealer about how to purchase
the Leviton 240V charge station in order
to achieve a full charge in just 3-4 hours.
In addition, you will be able to charge your
Focus Electric anywhere you find a 120V/240V
charge station as they all use the same connectors.
