the ground post.
The charging (DC) cord is equipped with a polarized connector that fits into a
matching receptacle on the vehicle. The receptacle is located on the driver
side of the vehicle just below the seat bottom.

automatically stop when the batteries are fully charged and the DC plug can
be removed to permit use of the vehicle.
