Charging
Plug-In Charging
This section explains the process
for charging the vehicle's high
voltage battery. Do not allow the
vehicle to remain in temperature
extremes for long periods without
being driven or plugged in. It is
recommended that the vehicle be
plugged in when temperatures are
below 0 °C (32 °F) and above 32 °C
(90 °F) to maximize high voltage
battery life.
When using a 120-volt AC electrical
outlet, it will take approximately
12.5 hours to charge the vehicle
with the 12 amp AC current setting
or 18 hours using the default 8 amp
AC current setting. When using a
240-volt charging station, it will take
approximately five hours to charge
the vehicle. Charge times will vary
with outside temperature. At cold
temperatures, a higher power
charge station is recommended to
avoid extended charge times.There are three ways to program
how the vehicle is charged. See
Programmable Charging
0123.
The charging system may run fans
and pumps that result in sounds
from the vehicle while it is turned
off. Additional unexpected clicking
sounds may be caused by the
electrical devices used while
charging.
While the charge cord is plugged
into the vehicle, the vehicle cannot
be driven.
