What does the READY indicator on a car mean?
1 Answers
When the READY light appears on the dashboard of an electric vehicle, it means "the vehicle has completed all preparations, has successfully started, and is ready to go at any time." Below are explanations of the meaning of READY and some driving precautions for electric vehicles: Meaning of READY: Both electric vehicles and hybrid new energy vehicles display this startup status. Since new energy vehicles do not produce the sound of an engine after starting, it can be difficult for the driver to determine whether the vehicle has started successfully. Hence, the READY indicator is used to inform the driver. The icons on the car dashboard represent different meanings, and their purpose is to inform the driver about the vehicle's status. Electric Vehicle Driving Precautions: Regularly performing a deep discharge on the battery can help "activate" it and slightly increase its capacity. It is generally recommended to fully discharge the battery periodically. After the first under-voltage protection, the battery voltage may rise again after some time, returning to a non-under-voltage state. Using the battery in this state can cause significant damage. After a complete discharge, fully charging the battery may result in a noticeable improvement in battery capacity.
