    Happy new year!

    I just got my 12 v battery changed today by AAA, but after I started driving the plug-in, I noticed that there were no signs that the HV was charging on the dashboard. For example, on the HV/EV screen it highlighted ‘charging’ when I was braking, but it did not show any arrows showing ‘power’ heading to the HV battery.

    A few google searches showed that it may be a connection issue - but I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be looking at. Can anyone point me to any videos or pointers on what to look out for?

    All the best.

    i can't point to a video, but start by looking at the battery to make sure everything looks connected and tight.
    shouldn't be hard to find videos of the connections
