Good Charging Habits
Leave the vehicle plugged in between frequent uses
The vehicle operates best when charged regularly. You do not need
to run your battery pack low before charging again as there is
no benefit in letting batteries run low. Instead of waiting until
the State of Charge (SoC) is near empty to recharge the battery pack,
take every opportunity to recharge during downtime.
Charge in moderate temperatures
Charging
in extreme temperatures may limit the rate of charge the battery pack
receives. See Charging in Extreme Ambient Temperatures for details.
Charge during “off-peak” hours
Peak hours are when electricity demand is the highest amount per
kWh. If charging at home, charging the vehicle during off-peak hours
will keep charging costs low. Commonly, off-peak hours are at night
when electricity consumption is low. Check with your electric
companies as some may offer discounts during off-peak hours.
