UNDERSTANDING THE CHARGING CAPABILITY OF YOUR DESIRED EV

 All EVs can be charged at level 1 with a household electrical socket. However, this will only provide trickle charge which is much slower than level 2 (AC charging) and level 3 (DC fast charging).1

• Identify what is the maximum power at which your desired EV can charge for level 2 (AC Charging). This will allow you to consider the appropriate home charging options.

○ This could be single phase (up to 7 kW)
○ Three phase (up to 11 kW)
○ Three phase (up to 22 kW)

• Identify if your desired EV can be charged at level 3 (DC fast charging) and at which maximum power rating. This will allow to you consider the appropriate public chargers that you can use.


UNDERSTANDING CHARGING OPTIONS FOR YOUR HOME2

• If you reside in a villa or townhouse, most likely you would be able to install a level 2 charger in your garage

The compound engineer or a certified installer would be able to check the electrical distribution board of your house to determine the available power for the EV charger to safely consume
Based on the availability of power you would be able to decide whether a single phase or three phase AC charger can be safely installed along with its specific electrical power capacity

• If you reside in an apartment, you may want to check the following:


○ Does the apartment building/tower already have chargers installed
○ Are there any public chargers nearby for your regular usage
○ If none of the above two points apply, then you may want to inquire with the building/tower management to see if you can install a charger for your use
○ This will allow you to consider the appropriate public chargers that you can use.

HOME CHARGING

  • Dual Level Charge Cord3comes standard with the Hummer EV. Can be switched between level 1 and level 2 charging.

    • Plug in to your standard household electrical wall socket for Level 1 charging
    • Level 2 charging (up to 7kW) may require professional installation and requires an industrial power outlet. Please contact your local dealer for further details.
  • Level 2 home charger wall box4 capable of single to three phase charging up to 22 kW

    • Level 2 charging (up to 22kW) require professional installation.
    • Approval for additional three phase power supply may be required from your local electricity authority
    • Please contact your local dealer for further details and available home charging options
    • Some countries require the home charger installation to be conducted by certified installers and may require additional approvals to be attained from the local electricity or other regulatory authorities.
    • Please ensure that you adhere to local regulations for safe and proper EV charger installation

PUBLIC CHARGING

  • Charge using a level 2 (AC) public charging station


    • Public charging stations can be located using the myGMC app
    • Some public charging stations may require you to scan or use a designated charging app or card which may incur a fee
    • Different countries have varying charging operators – with each one possibly requiring their own designated app or card to be used
    • There are two types of public AC chargers


      • With integrated charging cable – with this type of charger you can just scan your charging card (if paid) and plug in the integrated type 2 cable into your vehicle
      • Without a charging cable – with this type of charger you would need to scan your charging card (if paid) and then plug in your own detachable type 2 to type 2 charging cable. Please contact your local dealer for details on how to purchase your own type 2 to type 2 charging cable.
  • DC Fast Charging (DCFC) Public Stations
    • Public charging stations can be located using the myGMC app
    • They are usually located in malls, petrol stations and highways
    • DCFC ranges from 50kW all the way up to 350kW – with most petrol stations in GCC currently having 50kW DCFCs
    • All DC fast charging stations have integrated charging cables due to the very high voltage and current flowing through them
    • You may be required to pay to use some of these public DC fast charging stations (varies from different charging operators in different countries)

EV DO’S & DON’TS 5

DO'S

DONT'S

  • Maintain your state of charge (SOC) between 20% - 80% for optimal battery performance
  • Appropriately plan your home charging cycle as per your daily commute
  • Take care of your EV’s battery. Keeping the battery at zero and repeatedly charging it will cause the battery to deplete more quickly.
  • Protect your EV from prolonged exposure to heat. Try to park your EV under a shade
  • While using a DC fast charger utilize the battery preconditioning feature for a more efficient fast charging experience
  • For optimal charging speeds keep the air conditioning switched off
  • Avoid parking your EV directly under the sun as this can affect battery life
  • Avoid waiting until the last minute to charge your EV to prevent range anxiety
  • Avoid driving over the charging cable to prevent damage of the equipment
  • Avoid plugging your EV charger into old/worn-out sockets
