1-20 In Brief
When using a 120-volt AC electrical
outlet, it will take approximately
10 hours to charge the vehicle with
the 12 amp AC current setting or
16 hours using the default 8 amp
AC current setting. When using a
240-volt charging station, it will take
approximately four hours to charge
the vehicle. Charge times will vary
with outside temperature. There
are three ways to program how
the vehicle is charged. See
Programmable Charging on
page 5-31.
The charging system may run fans
and pumps that result in sounds
from the vehicle while it is turned
off. Additional unexpected clicking
sounds may be caused by the
electrical devices used while
charging.
While the charge cord is plugged
into the vehicle, the vehicle cannot
be driven.
