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.
400 v 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 between 10 and
12 hours from a domestic power supply,
or 6 to 9 hours with a special wall socket
or public terminal.
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 12 V battery, similar to those used
on conventional vehicles: this supplies
the energy required to operate vehi
-
cle equipment (lights, washer/wipers,
audio system, etc).
