2-2. Charging
Connect to an AC 220 V - 240 V
socket with a Residual Current
Circuit-Breaker (RCCB) and a
circuit breaker. Use of a 13A indi-
vidual circuit is strongly recom-
mended to ensure AC charging
cable will operate properly.
 We strongly recommend that you
use an exclusive connection
from the junction box for
charging. If you connect on a
socket that is on a shared circuit,
and other electrical appliances
are used on other sockets on the
same circuit, then the circuit
breaker might trip.*
 Ensure that the junction box is
equipped with a Residual Cur-
rent Circuit-Breaker (RCCB). If it
is not, have one installed by a
duly qualified professional.
 When charging outdoors, make
sure to connect to a rain-tight
socket that is certified for outdoor
use. Checking Residual Current
Circuit-Breaker (RCCB) opera-
tion before its use is recom-
mended.
• Check whether there are any local
BEV-charging regulations in place,
and adhere to them.
*: For detailed information, consult an
electrician.
■The charging environment
For safe charging, the following charging equipment and settings are recommended.
●Rain-tight socket
When charging outdoors, connect the
plug to a rain-tight socket, and ensure
that the plug remains waterproof while
the plug is connected.
●Dedicated circuit • To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to an at least 13A branch circuit with
an over-current protection. • To reduce the risk of electric shock when working with the plug, connect
to a socket that has a Residual Cur- rent Circuit-Breaker (RCCB) installed.
●Remote switch
Allows the electricity from the socket to
be interrupted by operating a switch,
thus allowing safe removal and insertion
of the plug on rainy days.
Power sources that can
be used
An external power source that
fulfills the follo wing criteria is
necessary for charging this
vehicle.
