Important Information about Portable Electric
Vehicle Charging
.Charging an electric vehicle can stress a
building’s electrical system more than a
typical household appliance.
.Before plugging the charge cord into any
electrical outlet, have a qualified
electrician inspect and verify the electrical
system (electrical outlet, wiring, junctions,
and protection devices) is suitable for a
heavy-duty service.
.Electrical outlets may wear out with
normal usage or may be damaged over
time, making them unsuitable for electric
vehicle charging.
.Check the electrical outlet/plug while
charging and discontinue use if the
electrical outlet/plug is hot, then have the
electrical outlet serviced by a qualified
electrician.
.When outdoors, plug into an electrical
outlet that is weatherproof while in use.
.Do not attempt to use the charge cord
with non-utility supplied electrical power
sources such as backup generating
equipment.
.If the charge cord overheats, remove from
direct sunlight.
.Disconnect the charge cord from the
vehicle before disconnecting the
attachment plug from the wall.
.When charging your vehicle, ensure all
components are connected properly, there
is no damage, and the outlet has power.
.Do not use the charge cord in severe
weather conditions.

excessive pulling force while wrapping.
.Wrapping the cable around the housing
of the control box.
Charge Cord Status Indicator
After plugging in the charge cord, it will
perform a quick self test.

cord control box. The charge cord uses a
combination of red, blue, and amber
indicators to display the status of the
charge cord.
