Description
The Speedhut 4-1/2″ EV Orion 160mph Speedom/BattLevel Gauge (FOR45-DS2-EV) integrates essential monitoring for your electric vehicle into a single, clear display. This gauge provides real-time readings for both your speed (up to 160 mph) and your battery’s State of Charge (SOC), ranging from 0 to 100%. Designed for seamless integration with EV systems utilizing CAN-Bus communication at a 500K baud rate, particularly those employing Orion, Zero EV, or Thunderstruck motor control units, this dual gauge offers a comprehensive overview of your vehicle’s vital statistics. For added safety, it features a built-in warning light that activates when your battery level falls below 15%.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
- Combines a 160 mph speedometer and a 0-100% battery level (SOC) gauge in one 4-1/2″ unit.
- Communicates directly with compatible EV systems via CAN-Bus (500K baud rate) for accurate data.
- Provides a visual warning when the battery’s State of Charge drops to a critical 15% level.
- Designed for straightforward integration with Orion, Zero EV, and Thunderstruck motor control units.
- Offers optional 12-volt activated indicators for turn signals and high beam.
- Ensures reliable performance with its robust design and accurate internal components.
