electric vehicle: introduction
Electric vehicles have specific features.
We therefore recommend that you read
these instructions describing your elec-
tric vehicle carefully.
Special feature
This vehicle has been approved
for the four-wheel category. It may
need to meet special regulations re-
garding the type of driving licence
required, the type of road used, etc.
Please ensure that you comply with
the legislation of your country.

Batteries
Your electric vehicle has two types of
battery:
– a traction battery;
– a 12 volt battery.
"58 volt" traction battery
This battery stores the energy nec-
essary to operate the motor in your
electric vehicle. As with any battery, it
discharges after use, and must be reg-
ularly recharged.
You do not have to wait until the traction
battery hits the reserve level in order to
recharge it.
Using a domestic socket, it takes ap-
proximately 3.5 hours to complete a full
charge.
Your vehicle range will depend on the
charge level of the traction battery, and
also on your driving style.
Please refer to information on "Vehicle
range: recommendations" in Section 2.
12 volt battery
The second battery on your vehicle is
a 12V battery: this supplies the energy
required to operate vehicle equipment
(lights, washer/wipers, etc).
The 12 volt battery is charged either at
the same time as charging the traction
battery or while the ignition is switched
on.
Please see the information under
"12 volt battery" in Section 4.
