to E-MEHARI
It is recommended that the battery be charged
as often as possible.
With the charge indicator at 100%, if not
charged the LMP
® battery can discharge in
2 d
ays (without using the vehicle).
A hibernation mode is available to reduce
energy consumption from the battery to a
minimum.
In this way you can park your E-MEHARI,
not connected and with no consumption of
electrical energy, for several weeks or even
several months.

Never use an extension lead.
At a public or private
charging point
You can charge your E-MEHARI at a public or
private charging point, provided that you have a
suitable cable for the type of charging point.
At home
Using a 16A power point
If you have a 16A charging power point or have
had one installed by an electrician, you can use
it to charge your E-MEHARI.
Using an ordinary domestic
power point (230V/10 -16A)
Your E-MEHARI is supplied with a charging
cable that has CCID electronic protection,
allowing you to charge your E-MEHARI from
any 230V/16A domestic power point that can
support a continuous current of 10A.
Using this solution the charging time is longer
than if charged from a 16A power point.
