Specic to GEM car models, the following safe habits should always be
followed:
• GEM battery-electric vehicles are open vehicles. For this reason, safety

120 VAC-15 amp electrical outlet that is ground-fault protected. Charging from

that is not sufcient in wire gauge could create a re hazard. Please consult this
Manual for the proper extension cord gauge which depends on its length.
