The 400  V traction battery 2 uses Lithium-Ion technology. It stores and subsequently supplies electric energy to power the electric motor, heating and air conditioning systems. Its charge level is represented by bars on a gauge, and there is a reserve power warning lamp on the instrument panel.

The 12  V accessory battery 3 powers the vehicle’s conventional electrical system. It is used to start the electric motor. This battery is automatically recharged by the traction battery.

The heat pump  4 provides passenger compartment heating and regulates traction battery and on-board charger cooling.

The on-board charger 5 manages traction battery domestic and accelerated charging.

The electric motor  6 provides motive power, based on the selected driving mode and the driving conditions. It recovers energy during vehicle braking and deceleration phases.
