2022 MAZDA MODEL MX-30 EV lock

Charge connector
The charge connector is used for
connecting to the normal charge port.

When the charge connector is
connected to the normal charge port,
a vehicle system locks the charge
connector.
When the charge connector is locked
by the vehicle system, it unlocks when
the driver’s door is unlocked.
If the charge connector locked by the
vehicle system is not unlocked even
though the driver’s door is unlocked,
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.

The conditions for locking the system
on the vehicle side can be changed.
For the procedure to change the
conditions, refer to Charging Settings
on page 3-21.

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
