Charging recommendations

To optimize the high-voltage battery performance and lifetime:

  • Drive and charge the car regularly, at least once a month.
    Note
    Driving the car regularly will also avoid discharging the low-voltage battery.
  • Never fully discharge the battery.
    Note
    The battery can discharge over time, even if the car is not used, since the battery powers onboard electronics.
  • Every three months, charge the car to 100%. Then consume the energy to 80% level of charge as soon as possible.
  • Keep the level of charge between 10% and 80%.
  • Minimize the use of DC charging.
  • Precondition the battery before departure.
  • When storing the car for more than three months, keep the battery's level of charge between 50% and 80%.
