Car EV Battery Level After A Period Of Standing

[MadBaz]

Have just returned to my Trophy after being away for 27 days and was surprised to see the EV battery still showing half full. In fact she started on EV mode as per usual, having read some worries on here regarding leaving the car l was very pleasantly surprised.

That's good to know @MadBaz, thanks.

where can you see the level please?

You can check the voltage of the 12-volt battery using the ismart application or an accessory that plugs into the cigarette lighter.

For the HT battery, you can view it via the dashboard screen.

I'm not interested in the starter battery, just the EV one.

As far as I know, the only EV Battery level indicator is on this screen.

I must be blind Clive, not noticed that.

I have watched a few TV programs where they convert classic cars to EVs, which is a great idea to keep them on the road. However, the kits they fit have information on everything. It's a shame MGs either didn't bother or hid it away.

I think the battery voltage here is of the 12v battery - typically I see 14v on mine. Surely the EV battery would be hundreds of volts... Nice to know if this could be viewed.

I'm not sure where you have seen the 14v on the screen mate, a photograph would really help. The battery icon in my picture doesn't show any actual voltage values, it had a series of 8 bars in a row, which represent the EV battery, the more charge the EV battery has, the more of these bars are lit up in blue.

Change the display to the tyre pressure monitor screen by moving the joystick. You will see the battery voltage under the image of the car/wheels.

Ahh gotcha mate, I see it, yes that's obviously the voltage of the 12v battery, but that's a different screen to the EV battery level indicator I posted earlier.

Thanks for that Clive. Perhaps I'll take a bit more notice of that blue battery bit now.
Crazy though having to fiddle around changing screens to look at provided useful information.
