What is the rear lightbar charge indicator feature?

[NothingEV79]

Hi! Someone asked me today how I feel about the Electre's rear lightbar charge indicator feature. I didn't know what to say because I don't know what is that feature for. I have never heard of it. Have you guys heard anything about it? Any thoughts? Thanks!

It's all about personal preference. Some people like it, others don't. It's a cool feature, but I'm not sure how useful it really is

But what it actually does?

Yeah, I’ve seen that feature mentioned. The rear lightbar on the Eletre apparently pulses or changes colors while charging to show the current battery level. It’s a neat visual touch, but I’m guessing it’s more for style than practicality since you’d probably check the app for precise numbers anyway.

I think they might have stopped putting that cool animation in some cars because of parts shortages.

The Electre's rear lightbar charge indicator is a cool feature that shows the car's charge level visually on the rear lightbar allowing you to see it from afar. It's designed for a quick visual check of the battery without needing to use an app or get inside. While it might be more of a "techy" addition, it could be handy when you're approaching the car and want to see the remaining charge. its value depends on personal preferences.

It's definitely a cool feature, but... let's be real, there's always room for improvement, right? If you could wave a magic wand and fix ONE thing about the Eletre, what would it be? For me, that app needs a serious makeover! What's your biggest wish for Lotus to work on?

I totally agree, but it doesn't seem to be working or used, at least from what I've noticed. While the rear lightbar lights up during startup and while charging, I haven’t seen it used otherwise. Maybe it only activates on high-power chargers of a specific type?
