Battery Pack Care
Storage temperature
CAUTION: Avoid exposing your vehicle to ambient temperatures above 131°F (55°C) or below -4°F (-20°C). Prolonged exposure can greatly reduce battery pack life and performance.
Note: Keep your vehicle sheltered or parked in a garage whenever possible in extremely cold weather.
Preserving battery pack health
When your vehicle is left idle and unplugged, the battery pack gradually discharges over time. Allowing the battery pack to completely discharge to 0% could cause permanent damage. Whenever possible, it is recommended to charge your vehicle while it is not in use, especially over long periods of time (such as when in storage). Battery pack life and performance are greatly improved by regular charging.
When the battery pack’s charge level falls below a certain range, the State of Charge (SoC) indicator on the Driver Display will change color to alert you. Go to the nearest charging station as soon as possible in order to avoid a vehicle shutdown.

When the remaining battery pack charge falls below 20%, a low battery warning indicator (telltale) illuminates on the Driver Display.
