CHARGE TYPES FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE
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 “AC Charge” on
page 1-23.)
•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 mini‐
mized 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 220V portable charg‐
ing cable, which can be purchased as
an option.
Trickle charge is recommended only
in case of emergency because the
use of household electricity may
cause problems associated with elec‐
tricity bills and electrical loads.
