Charging Instructions
Charging the Vehicle
There are two charging methods available for use with your
vehicle: Level 1 (portable charge cable) and Level 2 (EV Charge
Station). Both methods can be used with your vehicle, since
they use the same charging connector.
Level 1: The portable charge cable is used for slow charging
at a 110V outlet. Your vehicle is supplied with this cable,
which connects to most standard (110V) power outlets.
Level 2: An EV Charge Station (also known as a wall-
mounted charging unit or public charging station) charges
much faster than Level 1 charging.
Note: ElectraMeccanica does not recommend monopolizing a
public EV Charge Station when your vehicle is sufficiently
charged for your trip. In the developing culture of electric
vehicles, it has become a matter of courtesy to only use public
stations if your vehicle is in need of charging, especially when
limited stations are available. Be aware that some privately-
owned lots (such as shopping malls) may enact rules that allow
the towing of vehicles unnecessarily monopolizing their stations.
Using the Charge Cable
Your vehicle is supplied with a portable charge cable that
connects to most standard (110V) power outlets, allowing you
to charge your vehicle while at home or away.
The portable charge cable is located in its storage space under
the hood.
Electrical outlets
Do not use extension cords, multi-outlet
power strips, splitters, grounding
adapters, surge protectors, or similar devices, as these may
increase the risk of electric shock, fire, or other hazards.
Charging an electric vehicle can stress a
building’s electrical system more than a
typical household appliance. Follow the special precautions in
this section to reduce the risk of electric shock and fire while
charging.
For home charging, ElectraMeccanica recommends having a
qualified electrician inspect and verify that the electrical
system (including the electrical outlet, wiring, junctions, and
protection devices) is rated for heavy-duty service at a 15 amp
continuous load. Whether charging at home or away, check the
following:
Check the charge cable for signs of damage. Do not use a
damaged cable.
