the range by 36%. To get the most range for any electric vehicle (and to some extent petrol/diesel vehicles) involves driving at the slowest practical speed. For example, with the
Berlingo, energy consumption when driven gently at a slow speed of 35 mph (56 km/h) can be 250 Wh/mi (130 mpg‑e), but consumption can increase to 600 Wh/mi (56 mpg‑e) if driven faster. When driven faster than 50 mph (80 km/h), the Berlingo électrique controller starts to heat up and becomes less efficient.

there is a "traction battery discharged" warning lamp which is designed to illuminate when the state of charge falls below 20%; however, it is operated by the battery voltage. This can mean that the low energy light does not always illuminate at exactly the same percentage charge across different vehicles or even the same vehicle at different times.

either the Drive or
Reverse position is selected, the accelerator can be used to move the vehicle as normal. If the traction battery plug is connected, the STOP warning light flashes and the vehicle is unable to start. Similarly, if the accelerator is being pressed, or the vehicle is not stationary, the vehicle is unable to start.
804:
The manual does not indicate that removing the charging plug before it is fully charged can illuminate the 'Electrical Fault Light' which stays on until a full trickle charge is performed. This can be quite disconcerting as the manual states the car has to be taken to the dealer to reset the problem.

Numerous factors affect energy consumption, including terrain, weather, vehicle speed, and controller efficiency. The actual maximum range will depend on the driving style, especially the speed. This is because atmospheric drag is non-linear with speed, i.e., increasing the speed by 25% will decrease

The large energy meter display shows remaining energy as a percentage and is surprisingly accurate. The good accuracy is provided by the onboard controller monitoring the Amp-hours in and out of the battery rather than the battery voltage. Besides the Téconoscope limited-performance warning light,

The function of the ignition position (second detent) is slightly different from regular cars as only the STOP and handbrake warning lights (if the handbrake is applied) are displayed. In the conventional
Berlingo all the indicator lights are shown at the ignition position to check bulb condition.

In order to minimise battery usage, a petrol driven heater is fully integrated to vehicle. It typically takes 5 to 10 minutes to warm and provides excellent cabin heating. It takes several minutes for the heater to run down and will therefore continue to operate after the ignition is turned off.

When the ignition key is moved to the start position, which is spring-loaded and returns to the second (ignition) detent, the main traction battery relay is energised, causing an audible clunk, and the traction battery is connected to the motor. The STOP warning light is extinguished, and after

The high-voltage storage battery uses 27 nickel-cadmium modules, each operating at 6 V and with a capacity of 100 A-hr, giving the total series-connected assembly a nominal voltage of 162 V and a storage capacity of 16.2 kW-hr. Average consumption is 26 kWh/100 km

The electric traction motor develops its maximum torque of 180 N⋅m (130 lbf⋅ft) between 0 and 1600 RPM; maximum power is 28 kW (38 hp), delivered between 1600 and 5500 RPM. The continuous power rating is 15.5 kW (20.8 hp); the motor operates at a nominal
