Charging Related Part Overview
Charge cable
The charge cable is connected to the electrical outlet and the vehicle to send
electrical power to the vehicle. For details regarding the charge cable, refer to the
instruction manual accompanying the charge cable.
1. Charge connector
2. Control box
3. Charge plug
charge connector
The charge connector is the part used for connecting to the charging port on the
vehicle side.
When the charge connector is connected to the charging 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.
NOTE
The conditions for locking the vehicle system can be changed.
Refer to Convenient Ways to Use of Charging on page 5-118.
Control box
The control box indicates the charge status by turning on/flashing the indicator light.

How to Perform Charging
It can be charged with a maximum of
7.2 kW of power.
When charging is started after the high
voltage battery warning indication/
warning light turns on, the time until
fully charged is as follows.
(7.2 kW normal charging)
About 2.5 hours
For charging, the charging timer
function can be used to charge
automatically from start to finish. For
details on use, refer to [Charging
Settings].
NOTE
Installation of charging equipment is
required for 7.2 kW normal charging.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer
for details.
If a power outage occurs while
charging, remove the charge 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 charging port before

the charge connector or the charging
port, do not start charging and
consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
1. Switch the vehicle power OFF.
2.
3. Open the charging port cap.
4. Connect the charge plug to the outlet.
5. Connect the charge connector to the charging port.
Charging starts after connection is
completed.
NOTE
When the charging timer is set,
charging does not start even if the
charge connector is connected.
When you prefer to start charging
immediately, use the charging timer
cancellation function.
