How to charge – Plug In
PLUG-IN – Check the outlet on the charging station and the inlet on the vehicle before inserting the plugs.
- Insert the vehicle plug into the vehicle inlet.

UNPLUG After charging is completed or terminated:
- Unplug the charging cable from the vehicle

Proper connection
PROPER CONNECTION: The plug must be fully inserted into the outlet of the charging station.
Failure to do so will prevent the charging station from locking the plug in place and starting charging.
Plug cap
PLUG CAP: The plug strap can adjust the cap’s position. This prevents the cap from collecting water and dirt and keeps the cap clear of the vehicle during charging.
Maintenance, cleaning, and storage
MAINTENANCE: Keep the plugs dry and check them regularly for dust, dirt, pebbles, etc.
Remove the plug from the charging station, do not leave it in the outlet.
CLEANING: When cleaning the charging cable, make sure it is disconnected. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals when cleaning the cable, a damp cloth is sufficient.
