Envoy Home Base Charging
What you need to know: The majority of the time, the Envoy vehicle will charge at its "home base". Each Envoy vehicle has its own reserved parking spot with an adjoining dedicated charging station. Make sure to unplug the charger before entering the vehicle, and please plug back in when you return.
Cost: Free! Envoys charge for free at their home-base.
Access: This varies from property to property. At many locations, no special access is needed - simply unplug the charger from the docking station and plug it into the vehicle. At certain locations, there is a "card" on the charging station that must be scanned in order to unlock the charging cable. Simply scan the card on the charging station and you will be able to remove the charging cable. To unplug the charger from the vehicle, just make sure the vehicle is UNLOCKED and then remove the charge-cable from the car and plug it into the charging station.
Level 2 Charging
