The battery range indicator on the dashboard of a Cupra Formentor is shown on the digital instrument panel. It includes a power meter bar that displays the current usage level of the electric drive and a battery level indicator. A small arrow next to the battery symbol also shows which side of the vehicle the charging cover is on.
