Batteries
Your car has a number of different batteries to
facilitate electric operation in various ways. The
electrical system is single-pole and uses the
chassis and frame as a conductor.
High voltage battery
For operation with the electric motor, the car is
equipped with a battery located in the car's
chassis. This is maintenance-free and recharge-
able and is of lithium-ion type.
12 V battery
This battery is used to start up the electrical sys-
tem and drive electrical equipment in the car.
The high voltage battery is used when operating
the electric motor.

High voltage battery
For operation with the electric motor, the car is
equipped with a battery located in the car's
chassis. This is maintenance-free and recharge-
able and is of lithium-ion type.
Only authorised workshop personnel are
allowed to handle high voltage battery parts.
The car cannot be started if the high voltage bat-
tery is discharged. If both the 12 V battery and
the high voltage battery are discharged, both
batteries have to be charged. It is not possible to
charge just the high voltage battery first in this
case. The 12 V battery needs a certain charge
level so that the high voltage battery can charge.
Positioning of the high voltage battery
High voltage battery service life and capacity
The capacity of the high voltage battery dimin-
ishes with age and use, which may result in
reduced range.
Some recommendations to increase battery
service life:
• Leave the charging cable fitted when the car
is parked. Primarily in particularly hot or cold
climates.
• Avoid driving to a 0% state of charge.
