Re: Car died at 3 bars and 15 miles on the RR

Can you tell me a little bit more about the idea of not fully charging the car? I have read about this a few times but am still pretty new to everything EV. [/i]A good place to start is Battery University To answer your question regarding state of charge, look at Figure 6 in this article, BU-808 &q...

All this, in the interest of battery longevity. Can you tell me a li...

Car died at 3 bars and 15 miles on the RR

Hello Everyone, I am a new Miev owner and have loved the car so far. However, this evening while driving home the car died on me with 3 bars on the gauge and 15 miles left on the RR. I was caught off guard and ended up pushing it with the help of some passers by to a charger and getting enough range...
