Low Battery Charge
This is a Low Battery Charge Warning Indicator symbol. This warning light comes on when the available power in an electric vehicle’s (EV’s) primary battery runs low. The image is meant to invoke the low fuel warning light in gasoline powered vehicles. Since we live in a world used to gasoline pumps, the indicator image is the familiar pump but with an electric plug at the end of the hose.

The vehicle must be charged very soon or it will simply stop. A charge gauge on the instrument panel will indicate the actual power remaining.
