3.5 IDEAL TIME TO CHARGE
Vehicle can be charged anytime with availability
of charging facility, however charging can be
done at suitable time that has following
advantages:
1. Normally most of requirements for city
mobility are during day, hence charging at
night will not interfere in daily travel plans.
2. At night, ambient temperature is less, ideal for
battery charging.
3.6 INTELLIGENT CHARGING SYSTEM
This vehicle has unique Intelligent Energy
Management System [IEMS] that controls
energy flow from mains to battery power Pack
through on board charger. It will optimize energy
consumption to charge battery pack completely.
Further more if there is voltage fluctuation or an
interruption in main power supply, system
remembers point at which charging was
interrupted and resumes charging from there
onwards.
