Presentation of your E-MEHARI
An elegant design using the
latest technology
Your E-MEHARI is an innovative electric
vehicle with a new approach to mobility. Some
of the vehicle's systems operate differently from
those on a conventional internal combustion
vehicle.Your E-MEHARI uses two different types of
battery: the LMP® battery to drive the vehicle
and a 12V battery, as on a conventional vehicle
with an internal combustion engine.
The 12V battery provides the energy needed
for operation of the vehicle's systems: the audio
system, the exterior and interior lighting, the
windscreen wiper.
To charge the LMP
® battery, the vehicle has to
be connected to a power supply. To improve its
range, your E-MEHARI has an energy recovery
system using the braking effect of the electric
motor on deceleration.
Your E-MEHARI is a vehicle that emits no
polluting gases, such as CO
2, nor micro-
particles. Your E-MEHARI is also completely
silent.
The LMP® (Lithium Metal
Polymer) battery
Your E-MEHARI contains a high
voltage LMP® battery isolated from its
surroundings b y i ts u nique p ackaging ar
rangement. The LMP
® battery
must only be handled by trained and
qualified
p
ersons.
N

t
he
LMP® battery: risk of severe burns,
el
ectric shock that could cause serious
or fatal injuries and risks for the
environment.
NEVER HANDLE THE LMP
® B AT T E R Y.
Your E-MEHARI uses energy stored in a
LMP
® (Lithium Metal Polymer) battery. The
LMP® battery has to be charged before you
can drive your E-MEHARI. The LMP® battery
progressively discharges during use of the
vehicle.
If the state of charge of the LMP
® battery is at
0%, your E-MEHARI cannot be started: the
LMP
® battery must be charged.
A complete charging cycle (from 0% to 100%)
from a normal domestic power supply (standard
charge) takes between 8
a
nd 13
h
ours on
average, depending on the power supply.
