QUICK CHARGE IN COLD WEATHER (if so equipped)
It may take more time to charge the Li-ion battery using the quick charger if the vehicle
is parked in a cold location (for example, 32°F [0°C]) for a long period of time.

The Li-ion battery temperature gauge can be used to estimate the approximate time
needed to charge the Li-ion battery to 80%.
For more information, refer to the “Charging (section CH)” and the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your
Owner’s Manual.

COLD WEATHER RANGE AND PARKING IN
EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER
COLD WEATHER RANGE


Vehicle range is reduced when the heater is used and the battery temperat\
ure drops
below 77°F (25°C).

Using the climate control system to heat the cabin when the outside temp\
erature is
below 32°F (0°C) uses more electricity (heat pump, if so equipp\
ed) and affects vehicle
range more than using the heater at temperatures above 32°F (0°C)\
.
PARKING IN EXTREMELY COLD WEATHER

Do not store the vehicle in temperatures below -13°F (-25°C) for\
over seven days.
If the outside temperature is -13°F (-25°C) or lower, the Li-ion battery may freeze, and
it cannot be charged or provide power to run the vehicle.
For more information, refer to the “EV overview (section EV)” and the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of
your Owner’s Manual.
