from the power grid during a thunderstorm.
General charging and care instructions
The high-voltage battery is subject to aging and
wear and tear brought about by a physical and
chemical process. This reduces the high-voltage
battery’s capacity during its lifecycle, which, along
with usage and ambient conditions, diminishes the
maximum range available and increases charging
times the older the battery gets.
Adhering to the following measures can reduce the
aging and wear and tear of the high-voltage battery:
e
When charging, make sure that the ambient
temperature for the vehicle is between approx.
-4 °F (-20 °C) and +86 °F (+30 °C) where
possible.
e
Whenever possible, do not expose the vehicle to
prolonged temperatures in excess of
