IMPORTANT VEHICLE INFORMATION
Your 500e operates entirely on electricity stored in the
high voltage battery. Unlike a conventional vehicle or
Hybrid there is no internal combustion engine. Battery
Electric Vehicles have unique operating characteristics
that you should become familiar with to ensure you are
getting the optimal performance from your vehicle.
High Voltage Battery
Your vehicle is equipped with a Lithium-ion high
voltage battery that is used to power the electric pow-
ertrain systems and the 12 volt vehicle electrical system.
The high voltage battery is located under the vehicle.
The high voltage battery is maintenance free and de-
signed to last for the life of the vehicle.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.

HIGH VOLTAGE CHARGING OPERATION
SAE J1772 Charging Inlet
Your vehicle uses an industry standard SAE J1772
charge inlet (vehicle charge inlet) for both AC Level 1
(120V) and AC Level 2 (240V) charging.

14 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE:The charge inlet door locks and unlocks with
the vehicle doors.
AC Level 1 Charging (120V, 15 Amp)
Your vehicle is equipped with a 120 Volt AC, SAE J1772
Level 1 Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE), also
referred to as a charging cordset. AC Level 1 charging
requires a conventional NEMA 5-15 120 Volt AC
grounded wall receptacle along with the charging cord-
set provided with the vehicle.
WARNING!
Shock, fire, property damage, or personal injury
may occur if the Portable EVSE Cordset is not used
properly. There are no serviceable parts contained
in the Portable EVSE Cordset. Any attempt to
service it may result in shock, fire, property dam-
age, or personal injury.
To access the charging cordset, remove the Level 1 EVSE
from its storage bin by lifting the rear cargo cover.

NOTE:The charging cordset is used for AC Level 1
charging only.
WARNING!
• Read all the instructions before using this prod-
uct.
• Unattended children must not have access to the
working Portable EVSE Cordset.
• Do not put fingers or objects into the Charge
Connector.
• Do not use this product if the flexible power cord
or Electric Vehicle (EV) Cable is frayed, broken,
has cracked insulation or any other signs of
damage.
• Do not use this product if the enclosure or the
Charge Connector is broken, cracked, open, or
shows any other indication of damage.
• Do not use Portable EVSE Cordset with an exten-
sion cord. Use of an extension cord may cause
burns, fire, or other damage or injury.
• This device may attempt to reset and run after an
interruption
EVSE Charging Cordset
The EVSE charging cordset is compliant with SAE
J1772, and applicable for use with vehicles fitted with
the standard SAE J1772 charge inlets. The EVSE in-
cludes:
• An AC Power Cord with NEMA 5–15p, Right Angle
plug
• An indoor/outdoor charge cable, EV- rated
• A Charge Connector
• A NEMA 6 rated enclosure with a charge current
interrupt device (CCID) with status indicator display

Charging Cordset Operation
1. Plug the AC plug of the charging cordset into a 15A,or 20A, 120VAC, 60Hz, grounded wall receptacle. Do
not use an extension cord, outlet/plug adapter, or a
worn outlet. The charging cordset will not operate
safely unless it is plugged directly into the wall
receptacle.
WARNING!
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
conductor could result in a risk of electric shock.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if
you are in doubt as to whether the wall receptacle is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug pro-
vided with the product – if it does not fit the outlet,
you must have a proper outlet installed by a quali-
fied electrician.

2. Check to see if the charging cordset is ready tocharge by reviewing the indicator lights. After a brief
self-check, where the indicator light will flash, a
green AC indicator light and two green charge rate
indicator lights indicate that the cordset is ready for
use. 3. If the charging cordset is ready to charge, ensure the
vehicle is in PARK, and then connect the charge
connector to the vehicle’s charge inlet. You will hear
a “click” when the charge connector is inserted
correctly and coupled with the vehicle’s charge inlet.
4. When the vehicle commences charging, the Charge Rate Indicator Lights will cycle from left to right, and
then both turn off. This pattern will repeat while the
vehicle is charging. The lights are illuminated at the
rate of approximately one cycle per second.
