OPERATION
Extended Range Mode
The Extended Range Mode feature allows the FUV to
travel approximately 20% further than usual on fully
charged Batteries.
Use of extended range mode will accelerate battery
wear and will reduce battery life. When in this mode,
drive away immediately when fully charged and charge
up immediately when fully discharged to avoid
permanent battery damage not covered under warranty.
Understanding Extended Range Mode
For optimal battery life, the HV Batteries should never be
allowed to be fully charged or fully discharged and
allowed to sit in this state for any extended period of time.
Letting the HV Batteries sit while either fully charged or
fully discharged - even only a few times - can dramatically
reduce the lifespan of the HV Batteries.
For that reason, the FUV normally stops charging the HV
Batteries at 90%, and indicates empty when there is
approximately 10% of charge left.
However, there may be specific cases when you want to
reach a destination that is slightly outside of this range.
Extended Range Mode allows you to unlock all of the
energy in the HV Batteries to get the extra miles you
need.
