Ideal Conditions for Storage
For planned long-term storage of more than 30 days, follow the recommendations below to create the ideal storage conditions for your Polaris Electric Vehicle (EV) and maintain the lifespan of the high-voltage battery pack.
Store in Cool, Dry Areas
Recommended Storage Temperature Range | 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 45° C) |
Store When State of Charge (SoC) is at 60%
Putting your EV into storage with 100% charge is not recommended,
as it may accelerate battery cell aging. Instead, operate the vehicle
until SoC has fallen to 60% (or charge until 60% is reached), then
place the vehicle in storage.
Check monthly to make sure State of Charge (SoC) does not fall
below 30%
While in storage, the SoC will gradually
drain. Check the SoC monthly to ensure it has not fallen below 30%.
If SoC is below 30%, charge back up to 60%.
24-Hour Charge Before Next Use
When the storage
period has ended, charge the vehicle for 24 hours before initial use.
This will allow enough time for optimal battery cell balance to be
restored.
