Warning Alert

[Juvel]

I've been getting a new kind of warning on my car that isn't in the manual. It happens when the battery is low, even though I still have a lot of distance left. If I stop somewhere, I can't drive very fast, despite the fact that the battery says I still have a lot of distance left. What do you think?

How low’s your battery when those funky warning lights start flashing?

When your EV drops below 10% charge, it’s like hitting the power brakes - things can get sluggish fast. To keep your battery happy, try to stick to that sweet spot between 20-80%. Letting it drain too low or pump it up too high can wear it out quicker than you’d like. And don’t forget, cold weather can put a damper on performance too. Keep those wheels rolling!

Yeah I agree, so stick to 20-80% or at least try not to let that SOC drop below 10%.

What’s the weather like when you first get hit with that new kind of warning?
