POWER METER
The power meter displays the traction motor
power consumption and the regenerative
brake power applied to the Li-ion battery.
When the battery is charged, power is
generated by the regenerative brake system
and the central dot
1
illuminates and the
number of circles increases to the left.
When the battery discharges and power is provided to the motor, the central
dot

illuminates and the number of circles increases to the right.
The number of circles will increase or decrease depending on the Li-ion battery
conditions. (Motor output is limited if the Li-ion battery temperature is too high
or too low or if the Li-ion battery level is low.)
