Summary

TSB: Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) store electricity received via an external power source in the BEV traction battery. When the BEV is not used for a period of 30 days or more, the traction battery self-discharges, thus reducing vehicle travel range. To prevent the BEV traction battery from fully discharging it is necessary to maintain the charge level of the BEV traction battery.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 11 complaints in the electrical category.
