2022 MAZDA MODEL MX-30 EV battery location

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

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.

▼Convenient Functions
Timer Charging
Timer charging is a function which
charges the battery automatically
according to a preset time.
You can charge the battery using this
function during time periods when
electricity rates are low. In addition,
the maximum charge limit can be set
and changed.
For the setting method, refer to
Charging Settings on page 3-21.

Canceling the Charging Timer
You can cancel the charging timer
setting temporarily to start charging the
battery immediately.
For the setting method, refer to
Charging Settings on page 3-21.

Climate Control Timer
The climate control timer is a function
which operates the cooling or heating
system automatically according to a
preset time.
The power consumption of the air
conditioner after starting to drive the
vehicle is reduced by operating the air
conditioner and providing a
comfortable temperature in the cabin
before driving.
For the setting method, refer to Turning
On the Climate Control System Using
the Timer (Climate Control Timer) on
page 5-12.

Charge Connector Lock
The charge connector lock is a function
which locks the charging connector
connected to the vehicle so that it
cannot be pulled out.
You can also select the lock conditions
for the charging connector according
to locations and situations.
For the setting method, refer to
Charging Settings on page 3-21.
Locked When Connected

CAUTION
In addition, the
eff ectiveness of the
braking may diminish so you may
need to depress the brake pedal
more strongly than normal to stop
the vehicle.
 When starting the EV system, the
brake system warning light may turn
on and the warning indication may
be displayed. In this case, park the
vehicle in a safe location and release
the brake pedal.
If the brake system warning light/
warning indication does not turn o ff
even after parking the vehicle, have
the vehicle inspected by an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.

▼ Electronic Brake Force Distribution
System Warning
If the electronic brake force
distribution control unit determines
that some components are operating
incorrectly, the control unit may
illuminate the brake system warning
light and the ABS warning light
simultaneously. The problem is likely to
be the electronic brake force
distribution system.
WARNING
Do not drive with both the brake
system warning light and ABS warning
light illuminated. Have the vehicle
towed to an Authorized Mazda
Dealer to have the brakes inspected as
soon as possible:
Driving when the brake system warning
light and ABS warning light are
illuminated simultaneously is
dangerous.
When both lights are illuminated, the
rear wheels could lock more quickly in
an emergency stop than under normal
circumstances.
▼ Lead-acid Battery Charging System
Warning Indication/Warning Light
The lead-acid battery charging system
warning indication/warning light
displays/turns on if the charging
system has a malfunction while the EV
system is operating.
Drive to the side of the road and park
o
ff the right-of-way. Consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
WARNING
Do not drive the vehicle with the
lead-acid battery charging system
warning indication/warning light
