Battery electric vehicles are considerably different from conventional vehicles.
They use electricity charged in a traction battery, to drive the electric motor(s).
Since battery electric vehicles are driven using electricity, they do not emit any
emissions such as CO2(Carbon Dioxide) and NOx (Nitrogen Oxides).
NOTE: Close the AC or DC charging inlet cap and the charging port lid after
every use.

The bZ4X may be charged immediately, or scheduled to charge at a specific time.
Before charging, it is recommended that:
• Parking brake is securely set.
• All lights are turned off.
• The power button is OFF.
There are two types of charging methods.
• AC charging
• DC charging
Refer to the section “Things to Know Before Charging” in the “Owner’s Manual”
before attempting to charge the traction battery.
Step 1 Plug the AC charging cable into the outlet of the external power source.
NOTE:
- Connect to an AC 120V outlet (NEMA 5-15R) with a Ground-Fault Circuit-
Interrupter (GFCI) and a circuit breaker. Use of a 15A individual circuit is
strongly recommended to ensure AC charging cable will operate properly.
- Also, make sure to connect to a weatherproof outlet that is certified for
outdoor use when charging outdoors.
- Hanging the CCID on a hook is recommended to reduce the strain on the
outlet and charging cable plug.
