I thought it said once a month. So I looked it up and the manual says: It is recommended that you perform regular charging from 2 bars or less on the energy level gauge to full at least once every three months. This allows the energy level gauge to adjust to decreased battery capacity and correctly display the remaining energy in the main drive lithium-ion battery.
A certified i-MiEV dealer can also adjust the energy level gauge for you when requested. Sent from my iPad > On Jun 28, 2019, at 12:32 PM, Michael A.
