  4. Do not use a Charging Cable with signs of damage.
  5. Do not use extension cords with the Charging Cable

Maintaining the State of Charge (SOC) between 20% and 90% will help improve the longevity of the high-voltage battery. Charge the high-voltage battery pack immediately if the SOC is below 20%. When charging, set the maximum state of charge at 90%
When not in use, the vehicle should be stored in temperatures between 32°F (0°C) and 113°F (45°C). If the vehicle will be parked for an extended period (e.g., 30 days), set the maximum SOC at 50%.
Vehicle Battery range can vary depending on conditions such as climate, driving behavior, road conditions, etc.
This vehicle is equipped with a high-voltage battery system capable of delivering over 400 volts of direct current.
The high voltage cables and connectors are orange in color for easier identification. Obey all caution labels that are attached to the vehicle. Failure to do so could lead to serious injury or death.
Do not touch high-voltage wiring, connectors or high-voltage parts, such as the inverter unit, high-voltage battery or drive motor. Touching, disassembling, removing or replacing high-voltage parts, cables and connectors can cause severe burns or electric shock that may result in serious injury or death.

HIGH VOLT CHARGING PROCEDURE

The Charging Port is located behind the cab near the passenger door (upper left corner of the passenger wheel well).

  1. Engage the Parking Brake and remove the Ignition key.
  2. The exterior red Master Power Switch located behind the cab must be left ON.
  3. Release the Charging Port door latch.
