For the fastest possible charging time, a
dedicated 220 V / 240 V, 20 A circuit is
required. Local electrical code can vary
from town to town. Therefore, it is highly
recommended that this service is
professionally installed. This service
should be installed in a dry area with
easy access to the passenger side of the
vehicle. You will need to obtain a vehicle
charge connector that can be wired
directly to or plugged into the dedicated
220 V / 240 V service. Charge connectors
will be available for purchase through
your authorized electric drive smart
center.

In order to park the vehicle safely, you
can briefly reactivate the drive system
just once more by switching the ignition

Low outside temperatures
The efficiency of the high‑voltage battery
is temperature-dependent and is reduced
significantly at low temperatures. In
addition, the electrolytes used may gel at
very low temperatures.
The performance display in the instrument
cluster (
