ELECTRIC VEHICLE: charging (5/8)
1
Avoid charging and parking your ve-
hicle in extreme temperatures (hot or
cold).
Under extreme conditions, charging
may take several minutes before start-
ing (time required for the traction bat-
tery to cool down or warm up).
When the vehicle is parked for more
than seven days in temperatures below
about -25°C, charging the traction bat-
tery can become impossible.
When the vehicle is parked for more
than three months with near zero
charge, charging the battery can
become impossible.
To preserve the service life of your trac-
tion battery, avoid parking the vehi-
cle for more than one month with high
charge, especially when the weather is
very hot.
Favour charging the traction battery
after driving and/or in mild tempera-
tures. Otherwise, charging may take a
longer period of time or even become
impossible.
In the absence of any protection
against overvoltage, you are recom-
mended not to charge the vehicle in
stormy weather (lightning, etc).
To avoid disturbing the
charging monitoring
system, do not install any
antistatic strip to the vehi-
cle.
Recommendations
– In high temperatures, try to park and recharge the vehicle in a shaded/
covered location.
– Charging can be performed in the rain or snow.
– Activating the air-conditioning in- creases the charge duration period.
Note:
If in a snowy environment, remove
snow from the vehicle charging area
before plugging in or disconnecting.
Snow in the socket may block the in-
sertion of the charging cord plug.
Charging connection 1
The vehicle has a charging connection
located at the front of the vehicle.
