Lithium-ion batteries provide the following benefits:
•Lithium-ion batteries are much lighter than other
types of rechargeable batteries of the same size.
• Lithium-ion batteries hold their charge; they only lose
approximately 3 percent of their charge per month.
• Lithium-ion batteries have no memory, which means
that you do not have to completely discharge them
before recharging, as with some other batteries.
• Lithium-ion batteries can be recharged and discharged
thousands of times.
High Voltage Battery Service Disconnect
The high voltage battery service disconnect is located
under the rear passenger seat lower cushion. If your
vehicle requires, service see your authorized dealer.WARNING!
Never try to remove the high voltage service discon-
nect. The high voltage service disconnect is used
when your vehicle requires service by a trained
technician at an authorized dealer. Failure to follow
this warning can cause severe burns or electrical
shock that may result in serious injury or death.
Disposal of the High Voltage Battery
Your vehicle’s high voltage battery is designed to last the
life of your vehicle. See your authorized dealer for
information on the disposal of the battery if it should
require replacement.2

vides the following features:
•Monitor battery charge level
• Display available driving distance
• Check charging status
• Remotely activate vehicle climate control system
• Unlock and lock doors •
Assist with locating your vehicle

Level 1 Charging
(120V — Requires NEMA 5–15 Outlet)
Level 1 charging is done by using a conventional 120 Volt
AC grounded receptacle along with the NEMA 5–15
Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) that comes
standard with your vehicle. Refer to “Vehicle Charging
Cord” for further information.
Level 2 Charging
(240V — Requires A 40 Amp Circuit Breaker Or
Greater)
Level 2 charging is accomplished by using 240V perma-
nently mounted EVSEs and is the preferred method for
charging your vehicle.

A Level 2 charging station can be installed at your
residence. The Level 2 unit and installation service is
available for purchase at your authorized dealer.
Charge Times
The following factors determine the time it takes to
charge the high voltage battery:•
The high voltage battery’s current state of charge
• What level EVSE is being used (Level 1 – 120V or Level
2 – 240V)
• Ambient temperature
NOTE:
• The charging times are estimates based on a com-
pletely discharged high voltage battery.
• Charging times will vary based on the age, condition,
state of charge and temperature of the high voltage
battery.
Type of Charge Estimated Charge Time
Level 1 (120V/15A) Approximately 23 hours
Level 2 (240V/30A) Approximately 4 hours
Level 2 Charging Station
20 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

Vehicle Charge Cord
Your vehicle comes equipped with a standard AC 120V
NEMA 5-15 Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE)
also referred to as a charge cord.
The EVSE plugs into any standard AC grounded outlet
and is used to charge the high voltage battery. To access
the charge cord, lift the rear cargo cover and remove the
charging cord from the storage bin.NOTE:The EVSE charge cord is used for Level 1
charging only.

SAE J1772 Charge Receptacle
Your vehicle uses an industry standard SAE J1772 charge
receptacle (vehicle’s inlet) for both AC Level 1 (120V) and
AC Level 2 (240V) charging.NOTE:The charge receptacle door locks and unlocks
with the vehicle doors.

EVSE Operation And Status Information
IndicatorDescription
1 — AC Indicator LED Green indicates READY
RED Indicates a fault
Indicator Description
2 — Fault Indicator LED Green indicates READY
RED indicates a fault
3 — Charge Level Indicator LED’s All ON indicates system ready
and not charging
LED’s turning on and off in sequence indicates vehicle charging
When the EVSE is first plugged in it will go through an
initialization and self test. For the first three seconds after
plugging in your EVSE all the LED’s will remain off.
After approximately three seconds the EVSE performs an
internal self test and Ground Continuity Test. This pro-
cess takes approximately 6 seconds.
During the internal self test the unit turns on one Charge
Level Indicator LED every 1.5 seconds until all the
Charge Level Indicator LED’s are illuminated.
