Electric Version Operating Principle - Jeep AVENGER 2023 Owner's Handbook Manual

ELECTRIC VERSION
OPERATING PRINCIPLE
(where provided)
The propulsion system of the Full
Electric Jeep Avenger is completely
powered by the energy contained in the
high-voltage lithium-ion rechargeable
battery of the car. Unlike conventional
or hybrid cars, there is no internal
combustion engine in this car.
The Jeep Avenger uses the electrical
energy stored in the high-voltage battery
and not fuel. This battery provides
the energy needed to start moving
and therefore needs to be recharged
before use. If the high-voltage battery is
completely flat the car will not start.
This car also has a conventional battery
(12V) of the same type as those used by
cars with internal combustion engines.
If the conventional battery is completely
flat the car will not start.
The conventional battery supplies power
to the conventional electrical system:
lights, windscreen wipers, restraint
systems (airbags and pretensioners),
sound system, etc.
The high-voltage battery supplies power
to the electric motor and supplies the
high-voltage auxiliary devices (heaters,
electric climate compressor, etc.). The
electronic converter that powers the 12V
system for general car operation is also
powered by the high-voltage battery and
also recharges the conventional battery.

The battery is charged by connecting the
charging socket of the car to the mains
power supply using the charging cable.
The high-voltage battery is also
partially recharged while driving during
deceleration or braking. During this
steps, the battery is recharged by
regeneration via the electric motor. This
is an efficient way of recharging as the
kinetic energy of the car is used and
converted into electric charging energy.
Electric cars have specific characteristics
of use, which is useful to know, in order
to achieve optimal performance.
