As electric cars continue to grow in popularity across Saudi Arabia, many new owners are still unfamiliar with the unique warning lights that appear on an EV’s dashboard. Unlike traditional gas-powered vehicles, electric cars come with a new set of alerts tied to their battery systems, electric motors, and high-voltage components. Understanding these signals can help drivers react quickly and avoid bigger problems. Here’s a guide to the most important electric vehicle warning lights and what each one means.
This symbol is one of the most critical alerts in an electric vehicle. When the battery light appears in green, it typically means the battery is healthy and fully charged. But if the light switches to red or orange, it’s a sign of trouble. It could mean the battery’s charge is too low or that there’s a malfunction in the electrical system. Since the battery powers everything in an EV, this light demands immediate attention and possibly a visit to a certified EV service center.
Normally, when an EV is charging correctly, the dashboard shows a steady light to confirm the process. If the charging light starts blinking or turns red, this could point to a problem with the cable, port, or charger itself. Loose connections, moisture, or software issues might all be to blame. Drivers should stop the charging session, check all cables, and if the problem continues, contact support. A flashing light is never something to ignore.
