Electric vehicles have specific features.
We therefore recommend that you read
these instructions describing your elec-
tric vehicle carefully.Batteries
Your electric vehicle has two types of
battery:
– a traction battery;
– a 12 volt battery.
“58 volt” traction battery
This battery stores the energy nec-
essary to operate the motor in your
electric vehicle. As with any battery, it
discharges after use, and must be reg-
ularly recharged.
You do not have to wait until the traction
battery hits the reserve level in order to
recharge it.
Using a domestic socket, it takes ap-
proximately 3.5 hours to complete a full
charge.
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: this supplies the energy
required to operate vehicle equipment
(lights, washer/wipers, etc).
The 12V battery is charged:
– when the traction battery is charged;
– when the ignition is on; or
– when the ignition is off and peri-
odically, provided there is enough
power in the traction battery.
Please see the information under
“12 volt battery” in Section 4.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE: introduction (2/5)
Special feature
This vehicle has been approved
for the four-wheel category. It may
need to meet special regulations re-
garding the type of driving licence
required, the type of road used, etc.
Please ensure that you comply with

12V BATTERY (1/2)
The secondary battery is a 12 V bat-
tery: this supplies the energy required
to operate vehicle equipment (lights,
windscreen wipers, audio system, etc)
and certain safety systems, such as
ABS.
For your safety and the
proper operation of the
vehicle’s electrical equip-
ment (lights, windscreen
wipers, etc.), any work on the se-
condary 12V battery (removal, dis-
connection, etc.) must be carried
out by a specialist.
Risk of serious burns or electric
shocks.
Respect categorically the repla-
cement intervals (without exceeding
them) as stated in the maintenance
document.
The battery is a specific type.
Please ensure it is replaced with the
same type.
Contact an Authorised Dealer.
