ELECTRIC SYSTEM OPERATIONLevel 1 Charging
(120V — Requires NEMA 5–15 Outlet)
Level 1 charging is done by using a conventional 120 Volt
AC grounded receptacle along with the NEMA 5–15
Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) that comes
standard with your vehicle. Refer to “Vehicle Charging
Cord” for further information.
Level 2 Charging
(240V — Requires A 40 Amp Circuit Breaker Or
Greater)
Level 2 charging is accomplished by using 240V perma-
nently mounted EVSEs and is the preferred method for
charging your vehicle. A Level 2 charging station can be installed at your
residence. The Level 2 unit and installation service is
available for purchase at your authorized studio.Charge Times
The following factors determine how long a battery
recharge will take:
Level 2 Charging Station
20 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

•The battery’s current state of charge (percent depleted)
•
What recharging device is being used (Level 1 or Level 2)
• Ambient temperatures
Type of Charge Estimated Charge Time
Level 1 (120V/15A) Approximately 23 hours
Level 2 (240V/30A) Approximately 4 hours
NOTE:
• Charging times are estimates based on a completely
discharged high voltage battery pack.
• Charging times will vary based on the age, condition,
state of charge and temperature of the high voltage
battery pack.
Vehicle Charging Cord
Your vehicle comes equipped with a standard AC 120V
NEMA 5-15 Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE)
also referred to as a charge cord. The EVSE is used to charge the high voltage battery and
plugs into any standard AC grounded outlet. To access
the charge cord, lift the rear cargo cover and remove the
charging cord from the storage bin.
NOTE:
The EVSE charge cord is used for Level 1
charging only.EVSE Location

SAE J1772 Charge Receptacle
Your vehicle uses an industry standard SAE J1772 charge
receptacle (vehicle’s inlet) for both AC Level 1 (120V) and
AC Level 2 (240V) charging.
NOTE:The charge receptacle door locks and unlocks
with the vehicle doors.EVSE Operation And Status Information

1 — AC Indicator LED Green indicates READY RED Indicates a fault
2 — Fault Indicator LED Green indicates READY RED indicates a fault
3 — Charge Level Indi- cator LED’s All ON indicates system
ready and not charging
LED’s turning on and off in sequence indicates ve- hicle charging
When the EVSE is first plugged in it will go through an
initialization and self test. For the first three seconds after
plugging in your EVSE all the LED’s will remain off.
After approximately three seconds the EVSE performs an
internal self test and Ground Continuity Test. This pro-
cess takes approximately six seconds. During the internal self test the unit turns on one Charge
Level Indicator LED every 1.5 seconds until all the
Charge Level Indicator LED’s are illuminated.

After the EVSE is connected to the vehicle’s charge inlet
the EVSE will continue to illuminate all LED’s green.
Once the vehicle begins charging the EVSE Charge level

off. This pattern will repeat as long as the EVSE remains
connected to AC power.
The LED’s are illuminated and turn off at the rate of one
change per second and the battery is charging.

Charging The High Voltage Battery
1. Put the vehicle in PARK.
2. Turn the ignition to the OFF position.
3. Remove the Level 1 EVSE from its storage bin bylifting the rear cargo cover. 4. Uncoil the entire length of the EVSE (charge cord).
5. Plug the EVSE into a standard 120V AC outlet that is
properly grounded. It is recommended that the EVSE
is connected to an AC outlet on a circuit which is not
electrically loaded by other devices. Extension cords
may not be used.
NOTE: All of the EVSE LED’s illuminate green.
6. Open the charge receptacle door.
NOTE: The charge receptacle door is locked whenever
the vehicle is locked. Unlock the doors to unlock the
charge receptacle door for charging.

7. Plug the EVSE into the charge receptacle. Push theEVSE in firmly until it is completely engaged (if not
completely engaged the vehicle may not charge). NOTE:
•The vehicle will initiate the charging cycle automati-
cally when all the conditions are satisfied.
• The vehicle charge indicator will show the pattern
for charging.

8. When charging is complete, or the vehicle needs to beunplugged, remove the EVSE by pushing the button
on the connector and pull firmly to remove it from the
charge receptacle.
9. Close the charge receptacle door. NOTE:
•
In the event of an error in the charging process the AC
power to the vehicle will stop and a red indicator will
illuminate on the EVSE.
• Keep the door for the charge receptacle closed when
not in use.

Vehicle Charge Indicators
Instrument Cluster Battery Gauge
There is a battery gauge indicator located on the instru-
ment cluster. The battery gauge will display, with pro-
gressive color indication, the current state of charge for
the high voltage battery; with the percentage value
located at the bottom of the gauge.Charge Low and Limited Power Messages
The state of charge is monitored during normal opera-
tion. If the state of charge reaches certain thresholds the
following messages will also be displayed on the cluster:
