Charge Types for Electric Vehicle

The types of charging include AC charge, DC charge, and trickle charge.

AC Charge

We recommend using AC charging for charging of the vehicle. You can use a AC charger at public charging stations but charge gun should always be checked for damage, prior to connecting to vehicle. Trickle charging cable (if equipped) in the cargo compartment of your car, can be used, but charge times will be long. (Refer to More Details)

DC Charge

You can DC charge at high speeds at public charging stations, but always confirm the charge gun is not damaged, prior to connecting to vehicle. Refer to the respective company's manual that is provided for each DC charger type.

Battery performance and durability can deteriorate if the DC charger is used constantly.

Use of DC charge should be minimized in order to help prolong high voltage battery life.

Trickle Charge

When you cannot drive to a public charging station due to low battery, charge your car with ICCB (In Cable Control Box), a portable charging cable, which can be purchased as an option.
