to 0% then will not drive until battery pack is
recharged. Charging time varies depending on
state of charge in car and ambient conditions.

5 hours.

Always check available energy for your
required travel distance by checking 'state of
charge' and also 'distance to empty'. When
ever charge level goes below 15%, the SOC

charge level drops below 10%, car will drive in
'POWER SAVE MODE' reducing car
performance and automatically turns off

enabled if energy level drops below 10%
