Charging Instructions 充电说明 Charging the Vehicle Using the Charge Cable There aretwo charging methodsavailable for usewith your vehicle:Level 1(portablecharge cable) and Level2(EV Charge Station).Bothmethodscanbeusedwithyourvehicle,since they use the same charging connector. Your vehicle is supplied with a portable charge cable that connects to most standard (110V) power outlets, allowing you to charge your vehicle while at home or away.
充电说明 Precautions when charging away from home Being able to charge your vehicle using the charge cable while away from home is a convenient way of maximizing your vehicle’s range. However, this means you may be connecting to anelectricaloutletwithunknownconditions.Always visually inspect the condition of the outlet before connecting the charge cable and follow these precautions: Electrical outlets may wear out with normal usage or be damaged over time, makingthem unsuitable for electric vehicle charging.
Charging Instructions When both the Power and Charging indicators are illuminated, the vehicle battery is being charged. Ifany indicator is flashingred, a fault has been detected. For safetyreasons, the charge cable will not allowthe vehicleto charge. When a fault is detected, the charge cable will automatically attempt to reset itself. If a fault indicator continues to flash for more than 30 seconds, unplug the charge cable from the vehicle and then the power source to reset.
Charging Instructions 充电说明 9. Whilethevehicleischarging, thesmallredlight ontherear of the right panel will illuminate.

The fan may beaudible whilein operation; this is normal and not a cause for concern. Additional unexpected clicking sounds may be heard while the vehicle is charging; these sounds are also normal.
Charging Instructions 充电说明 Disconnecting the Charge Cable Note:Electra Meccanica strongly recommends leaving the charge cable connected whenever the vehicle is not in use. Estimating Charging Time The amount of time it takes to fully charge the vehicle is dependent upon the remaining battery charge level and the available electrical supply (amperage and voltage). Electrical supply voltage Estimated charging time (hours) 1. Press the button on the charge cable connector to release the locking clip. 2.
Notes Starting the Vehicle 1. Insert the key into the key switch. See “Key Switch”, page 2-6. 2. Press down on the brake pedal until it is fully depressed and hold it down, turn the Drive Mode Selector Switch to N (Neutral). Driving and Operating Caution: Spinning the tire or holding the vehicle in one place on a hill using only the accelerator pedal may damage the drive system. The repair will not be covered under the vehicle warranty. If you are stuck, do not spin the tire.
Driving and Operating Braking Pressing the brake pedal down will increase the amount of braking force. When braking, your foot should be off of the accelerator pedal. Regenerative braking should bring the vehicle to a complete stop without locking the wheels. Regenerative braking faster with excessive heavy braking. Keeping pace with traffic and allowing reasonable following distances eliminates most unnecessary braking, which means better regenerative braking and longer brake system life.
Maintenance Requirements General Information The safety, reliability and performance of your vehicle will depend partly on how well it is maintained. Maintenance is the owner's responsibility. You must ensure that the appropriate maintenance is performed when required and according to the recommendations specified by Electra Meccanica. Regular maintenance can help protect against major repair expenses resulting from neglect or inadequate maintenance.
Parts and Maintenance Items Parts and Maintenance Items . The proper replacement parts, fluids, and lubricants to use are listed in the table below.
. Safety Information General Safety Information WARNING For your personal safety, do not attempt inspections or repairs not fully described in this manual. Contact your Electra Meccanica Authorized Repair Facility for service if you cannot determine the cause of a problem, or if the inspection or repair exceeds your abilities or resources. WARNING: Never try to do your own service on high- voltage components. You can be injured and the vehicle can be damaged if you try to do your own service work.
Maintenance Schedule Maintenance Schedule Chart The scheduled maintenance or service must be performed in accordance with the chart below to keep your vehicle in top operating condition. The service intervals in this maintenance and service schedule are based on average driving conditions. Some items will need more frequent service if you drive in unique conditions, such as unusually wet or dusty areas.
Maintenance Schedule Full Inspection Service Full Inspection Service Your SOLO should be given a full inspection service every 12,000 km (7,500 miles) or every 12 months, whichever comes first. This service includes the following procedures: 1.Check for Motor Controller (MC) and Battery Monitoring System (BMS) updates and apply as needed 2.

车轮和轮胎 Wheels and tires Wheels and Tires Check and maintenance WARNING: Defective tires are dangerous. Do not drive if any tire is damaged, excessively worn, or inflated to an incorrect pressure. Regularly inspect the wheels and tires for the following: • Bent or cracked wheel rims • Impact marks on the wheel rims • Cuts, cracks, or splits in the tire tread or sidewall area • Bumps or bulges within the tire body,If any of the wheels or tires are found to be damaged, they should be replaced immediately.
Wheels and Tires When the tread has been worn down to 1/16” (1.6 mm), the wear indicators start appearing at the surface of the tread pattern, A tire must be replaced as soon as an indicator band becomes visible or the tread depth reaches the minimum permitted by legislation. Tire Age degradation Tires degrade over time due to the effects of ultraviolet light, extreme temperatures, high loads, and environmental conditions. It is recommended that tires are replaced every six years, or sooner if required.
车轮和轮胎 Wheels and tires Wheels and Tires Tire Pressure Warning: Under-inflation is the most common cause of tire failures and may result in severe tire cracking, tread separation (or “blowout”), with unexpected loss of vehicle control and increased risk of injury. Correctly inflated tires will ensure that you enjoy the best combination of vehicle range, tire life, ride comfort, and road handling.
Wheels and Tires Replacement Wheels and Tires Warning: For your safety, it is recommended that only wheels and tires that match the original vehicle specification are used on the vehicle. Wheel rims and tires are matched to suit the handling characteristics of your vehicle. Always check that replacement tires comply with the original specification.
车轮和轮胎 Wheels and tires Wheels and Tires Tire Markings Federal law requires tire manufacturers to place standardized information on the sidewall of all tires.

Load index This two- or three-digit number is the tire's load index, which is a measurement of how much weight each tire can support. This number is not always shown on the tire. 7. Speed rating The speed rating, when stated, denotes the maximum speed at which the tire should be used for extended periods. The ratings range from 99 mph to 186 mph.
车轮和轮胎 Wheels and tires Wheels and Tires 12. Temperature grade This indicates the tire's heat resistance grading. The tire’s resistance to heat is grade A, B, or C, with A indicating the greatest resistance to heat. This grading is provided for a correctly inflated tire, which is being used within its speed and loading limits. 13. Tire composition and materials This number indicates the number of plies (layers of rubbercoated fabric) in the tire tread and sidewall.
Wheels and Tires Traction Note：The traction grade assigned to the tire is based on straight-ahead braking tests, and does not include acceleration, cornering, hydroplaning or peak traction characteristics. The traction grades (from highest to lowest) are AA, A, B, and C. These grades represent a tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
