ELECTRIC VEHICLE: introduction (2/5)
Electric vehicles have special features,
but operate in a similar manner to con-
ventional vehicles.
The main difference in electric vehicles
is the exclusive use of electric energy
instead of fuel, as used in conventional
vehicles.
We therefore recommend that you read
these instructions describing your elec-
tric vehicle carefully.
Connected services(depending on vehicle)
Your electric vehicle has connected
services which, amongst other things,
enable it to detect the charge status
of your vehicle using some mobile
phones 8 or your computer 9 . This in-
formation is also available directly on
the instrument panel 7 of your vehicle.
For further information, please contact
an authorised dealer.
You can subscribe to a connected
service or extend it at any time by
consulting an authorised dealer.

ELECTRIC VEHICLE: introduction (3/5)
Batteries
Your electric vehicle has two types of
battery:
– a 400V traction battery;
– a standard 12V battery, identical to the one used in conventional vehi-
cles. Traction battery
This battery stores the energy neces-
sary to operate the motor in your elec-
tric vehicle properly. As with any bat-
tery, it discharges after use, and must
be regularly recharged.
You do not have to wait until the traction
battery hits the reserve level in order to
recharge it.
Charging times vary depending on the
type of specific wall unit socket or public
terminal you connect to.
Your vehicle range will depend on the
charge level of the traction battery, and
also on your driving style.
Please refer to information on “Vehicle
range: recommendations” in Section 2. 12 volt battery
The second battery on your vehicle is
a 12V battery, similar to those used
on conventional vehicles: this supplies
the energy required to operate vehicle
equipment (lights, windscreen wipers,
ABS, etc).
