Charging information

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

  • AC Charge:

    We recommend using AC charging for usual charging of the vehicle. You can use a AC Charger at public charging stations and the charging cable (if equipped) in the cargo compartment of your car. (Refer to More Details.)

  • DC Charge:

    You can charge at high speeds at public charging stations. 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, you can charge the car by using the Portable Charging Cable. (ICCB: In Cable Control Box).

    Trickle charge is recommended only in case of emergency because the use of household electricity may cause problems associated with electricity bills and electrical loads.
