New Think owner, I have the charger cord that has a GFI on the end. First question is it OK to plug it into an existing GFI circuit?  
Second question, should the switch under the drivers seat be turned off while charging??

Thank you  
Dave

Yes it’s okay to plug it into an existing GFI circuit.

Yes you should turn the master switch off when charging. You should turn the master switch off every time you’re not using it.
