Default Re: Assist Algorithm

No, the car won't shut down, that would be really problematic. When the battery display says "empty" the battery still has 20% of it's charge, so you won't completely kill the battery by draining it all the way down by using electric A/C. Your car should recharge the battery at that point, but I can't say for sure how it will go about doing that. It does need to have power available in the HV battery so that the 12v system can be charged from it.
