Charging recommendations
To optimize the high-voltage battery performance and lifetime:
- Drive and charge the car regularly, at least once a month.NoteDriving the car regularly will also avoid discharging the low-voltage battery.
- Never fully discharge the battery.NoteThe 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%.
