Reactivate Your Volta

    Step-by-step checklist to safely bring your vehicle back to life after extended storage

    Initial Safety Checks

    Before attempting to start the vehicle

    Visual Inspection

    Walk around the vehicle and check for any visible damage, pest intrusion, or debris accumulation during storage.

    Tire Inspection

    Check tire pressure and look for flat spots from sitting. Inflate to recommended pressure if needed.

    Brake Check

    Ensure brakes aren't seized or corroded. Pump the brake pedal a few times to build pressure before attempting to drive.

    Check Battery Charge Level

    Verify the battery state before attempting to start. The battery should show adequate charge on the dashboard.

    Clean Terminals Again

    Remove any corrosion that may have developed during storage. Use a wire brush if necessary.

    Charge Fully Before Driving

    Ensure a complete charge cycle before first use to calibrate the battery management system.

    Check 12V Accessory Battery

    Verify the 12-volt accessory battery is holding charge properly and maintaining electronics.

    Electrical Systems Check

    Verify all electrical components function correctly

    Test All Lights

    Check headlights, brake lights, turn signals, and hazard lights are all working properly.

    Dashboard Check

    Verify all warning lights function correctly on startup and clear as expected after system checks.

    Horn Test

    Ensure the horn is working for safety purposes.

    Screen/Infotainment

    Check the 10.1" screen powers on correctly and Apple Play/Google Play connectivity works.

    Mechanical Systems Check

    Test mechanical components before driving

    Steering Test

    Check that power steering feels normal when turning the wheel with the vehicle on.

    Brake Test

    Test power brakes at low speed in a safe area to ensure they respond properly.

    Listen for Unusual Sounds

    Pay attention to any squeaking, grinding, or rattling that wasn't present before storage.

    First Drive Guidelines

    Take it slow and test gradually

    Start Slowly

    Take a short, low-speed test drive first in a safe, controlled area.

    Test All Functions

    Gradually test acceleration, braking, and steering during the first drive.

    Listen and Feel

    Pay attention to any unusual vibrations or noises that may indicate issues.

    Avoid Long Trips Initially

    Keep the first few drives short to ensure everything is working properly before longer journeys.
