marcbelectrique Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 Is there someone who can tell when it is normal to loose a bar (from 3 to 2 bars)? I bought the car 2 months ago (it's a 2016 ED) and since last Friday I noticed I am loosing a bar even above 30% charge and did not have that before even below - 10C. Can you tell the behavior of those 3 bars? (or do you know a post that explain this?) Thanks Marc Quote
darren Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 It's on page 85 of the manual. https://www.smartusa.com/resources/downloads/manuals/2015/ev_owners_manual.pdf Quote Maximum available power WARNING When the indicator for the maximum available power is not at its maximal range, the power output is reduced noticeably. Adapt your speed and driving accordingly. Oth- erwise, you could cause an accident. Exer- cise particular care when passing or accel- erating. The indicator for the maximum available power of the drive system contains three segments :. The number of dark segments indicates power that is currently available. Three segments: maximum power is available. Two segments: Less than 66 % amount of power is available. One segment: Less than 33 % amount of power is available. Under normal operating conditions the indicator for the maximum power is at the maximum range. The available amount of power can vary from the the maximum range due to: very high or low outside temperatures very high power demand over a long time period very low charge level of the high-voltage battery By charging the high-voltage battery, the reduced availability of power can be improved (Y page 114). 2 Quote
