•
Pass the lower side belt of the EVSE
(Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment)
case securely through the fastener on
the bottom of the luggage board. If the
case suddenly becomes loose, it may
cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION
• To prevent damage to the charging
equipment:
– Do not close the charge port lid
without closing the cap.
– Do not subject the charging equip-
ment to impact.
– Do not pull or twist the charge cable.
– Do not drag the charge cable.
– Do not store and use charging
equipment in locations where the
temperature is over 185°F (85°C).
– Do not place the charging equip-
ment close to a heater or other heat
source.
• Make sure the cap is closed on the
charge port when charging is finished.
If the charge port lid is closed when the
cap is open, water or foreign materials
may enter the charge port.
• Do not charge when a vehicle body
cover is in use. This may cause damage
to the charge connector.
• Do not attempt to perform a jump start
on the 12-volt battery at the same time
that
the Li-ion battery is being
charged. Doing so may damage the
vehicle or charging equipment and
could cause an injury. See “Jump start-
ing” in the “In case of emergency” sec-
tion.
• Trickle charging is performed using the
EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equip-
ment)
provided with the vehicle.
NISSAN recommends using an AC 110
- 120 volt, 15A, dedicated electrical cir-
cuit and outlet. The dedicated circuit is
used to help prevent circuit damage or
the circuit breaker from tripping due to
the high draw of charging the Li-ion
battery. If the dedicated circuit is not
used, the circuit may cause adverse
interference on MCB (Moulded Circuit
Board) and household electrical appli-
ances such as televisions and audio
systems. If the circuit is shared, and
another electrical device is being used
at the same time the vehicle is charg-
ing, the breaker may trip. A licensed
professional electrician should install
a dedicated circuit if one is not already
available.
