2022 MAZDA MODEL MX-30 EV battery

Do not step on the charge cable or
drag it on the ground.
 When inserting/pulling out the
charge connector and the charge
plug, do not twist them excessively.
 Do not apply excessive force to the
connected charge connector such as
by applying your weight.
 Keep objects which generate intense
heat (such as a heater or cigarette)
away from the charge cable.
 Do not apply organic solvents, acid
or alkaline agents to the charge
cable.
CAUTION
Do not connect the booster cable to
the lead-acid battery or remove the
lead-acid battery while charging the
high voltage battery. Otherwise, the
vehicle or charging device could be
damaged.
 If the charge connector is removed
after the charging is
finished, close
the charge port cap immediately. If
the charging lid is closed with the
charge port cap open, water or
foreign matter may enter the charge
port causing a malfunction.
 Always make sure that the charge
cable is not connected to the vehicle
before driving. Because the vehicle
can be driven even while the charge
connector is not connected
completely, it could result in an
accident.
 If the charge port is frozen shut,
defrost the inlet using a hair dryer. If
the charge cable is inserted/pulled
out with the charge port frozen, it
could cause damage.
NOTE
Normal charging and quick charging
cannot be performed at the same
time.
The navigation system and the
climate control system can be used
even while charging. However, the
charging time increases because
electrical power is consumed. In
some cases, power consumption
may exceed the charged amount and
charging may not finish.
If a power outage occurs while
charging, remove the plug and the
charge connector and start charging
from the beginning again.
Make sure that no water has
accumulated in the charge connector
and the charge port before charging.
If any foreign matter enters the
charge connector or the charge port,
do not start charging and consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
▼Preparation Before Charging
This vehicle is driven by consuming the
electrical power stored in the high
voltage battery. Therefore, it is
necessary to charge the high voltage
battery.
The parts related to charging are
located in the following positions.

NOTE
When the driver's door is locked using
any of the following functions, the
charge lid is also locked at the same
time.
Vehicle speed sensing auto door lock
function
Auto re-lock function
Quick charge port
The quick charge port is the part to
which the connector of the quick
charger is connected. This is used for
quick charging.
Battery heater
The battery heater is designed to
maintain the appropriate high voltage
battery temperature.
Because the driving performance and
the charging performance decrease if
the high voltage battery temperature
decreases, decreases in their
performance are reduced by
maintaining the appropriate high
voltage battery temperature using the
battery heater.
When the high voltage battery
temperature decreases signi ficantly
while parking or charging , the battery
heater operates. When the
temperature increases to the speci fied
value, the heater turns o ff.
However, when the high voltage
battery level is low, the battery heater
does not operate.
NOTE
Because the electrical power of the
high voltage battery is used by the
battery heater, we recommend that
the charge connector is left
connected to the vehicle when
parked in a location where charging
is available.
If the vehicle is not used for a long
period of time, we recommend that
the battery heater is turned o ff using
[Settings] in Mazda Connect.
When the battery heater operates,
the charging time could take longer.
Battery cooling
If the high voltage battery temperature
reaches 40 ℃ (104 ℉) or higher after
driving the vehicle, it is possible to cool
the high voltage battery while the
vehicle is parked for maintaining a long
high voltage battery life.
If the Excessive Battery Temperature
noti fication is displayed on the center
display after completing a trip, select
Start to operate the battery cooling.
NOTE
Because the electrical power of the
high voltage battery is used by the
battery cooling , we recommend that
the charge connector is connected to
the vehicle while the battery cooling is
operating , when parked in a location
where charging is available.
▼ Charging
Charging type
There are two methods of charging the
high voltage battery, normal charging
and quick charging.
We recommend that you use normal
charging as the preferred charging
method as this will help to keep the
high voltage battery in optimal
condition and maintain a long battery
life.

The exact charging time depends on
various conditions at the time of
charging , such as the type of charger,
battery condition, ch
arging patterns, as
well as the battery temperature and
ambient temperature. In cold weather
Before Driving
Electric Vehicles

conditions, both the battery and
ambient temperature will affect the
required charging time and, in certain
situations, this may lead to a signi ficant
increase in the charging time.
Normal charging
Normal Charging can be performed at
home using either a household power
source such as a wall outlet or wall
box, or similar method (alternating
current). Additionally, charging can be
performed at a public charging facility
using a charger other than a quick
charger (direct current).
When charging is started after the
remaining high voltage battery power
warning indication/warning light turns
on, the time it takes to fully charge the
high voltage battery at a public AC
charging facility is about 5 hours. Using
a household power source for charging
will increase the charging time to fully
charge the high voltage battery.
For normal charging , the charging
timer function can be used to charge
automatically from start to finish.
For details on how to use the charging
timer function, refer to Charging
Settings on page 3-21.
Quick charging
When charging is started at a quick
charging station (DC with 50 kW or
higher) the high voltage battery can be
charged from a 20% to 80% battery
charge level in about 36 minutes. The
exact charging time depends on
various conditions at the time of
charging , such as the type of charger,
battery condition, ch arging patterns, as
well as the battery temperature and
ambient temperature. In cold weather
conditions, both the battery and
ambient temperature will aff ect the
required charging time and, in certainsituations, this may lead to a significant
increase in the charging time.
WARNING
Always heed the following when
using a quick charger:
Otherwise, it could lead to an
accident.
 Do not use a charge cable which
exceeds 30 m (98 ft).
 This vehicle is compatible with quick
chargers with charge cables of 30 m
(98 ft) or shorter and which do not
charge other devices or vehicles at
the same time.

How to perform normal charging
1. Shift the selector lever to the P position.
2. Switch the power switch OFF.
3. Press the location shown in the figure to open the charge lid.
4. Open the normal charge port cap.
