High-voltage Battery
• The vehicle is powered by a high-
voltage battery that can be charged
and discharged repeatedly. The high-
voltage battery is charged by an
external power source or through
energy recovery when the vehicle
brakes or coasts.
•
The high-voltage battery is located
under the vehicle 󽗊oor, so be careful
to avoid bumping when driving on
bumpy or uneven roads.
Battery Properties
• It is normal that vehicle performance
is a󽗈ected by battery electrochemical
properties and self-protection and
varies to some extent in the following
conditions:
•When SOC is high, the regenerative
braking performance may decline.
•The battery charging switches to
trickle charging mode when SOC
is high. If the charging time is
prolonged, the estimated remaining
charging time displayed on the
cluster may not be accurate.
•When SOC is low, the acceleration
performance may decline.
•When the high-voltage battery is low,
VTOL* cannot be used as normal.
Charge the battery promptly.
•At high or low temperatures, it
is normal that the charging and
discharging capabilities of the high-
voltage battery decline, and the
charging time is prolonged. For
fast charging, high-power charging
equipment is recommended. Power
performance may also decline under
extreme temperatures.
•For charging at low temperatures,
the temperature control system can
signi󽗉cantly improve the charging
capability. For details regarding low-
temperature charging, see Charging
Precautions.
•
When the vehicle is used at
low temperatures, the battery's
temperature control system will start
heating the battery as appropriate
to ensure the driving power
and discharging performance and
improve your driving experience.
When the vehicle is driven over short
distances, heating may be ine󽗈ective,
which increases power consumption
and decreases driving range.
• When the high-voltage battery is
normal, the driving range of the vehicle
varies with the following factors:
•Driving habit: For example, the
range in frequent acceleration or
deceleration is shorter than that at
constant speeds, and the range is
shorter when driving at high speeds
than when at low speeds.
•Road conditions: For example, the
range driven in rough conditions or
on long slopes is shorter than that
in normal conditions and on even
roads.
•Air temperature: The driving range at
low temperatures is shorter than that
at ambient temperatures.
•Use of electric equipment: For
example, the range driven with A/C
on is shorter than that with A/C o󽗈.
•Available high-voltage power is lower
in cold weather and reduces as the
temperature decreases. If the vehicle
with high battery level is charged
