1) Lithium charger will overstep EU emission

E-Tuk Factory has found that there is a likely possibility that the lithium charger will overstep EU emission limits during its start.
The emission would not lead to an unsafe vehicle or situation, but could cause other electrical devices or circuits to react.
We strongly recommend making a minor change to the installation of the charger to prevent this.

2) Irregular behavior of the speedometer and battery gauge

During a recent electromagnetic immunity compliance test, E-Tuk Factory found irregular behavior of the speedometer and battery gauge.
It is possible that during the use of the vehicle in an electric field the speedometer will be sensitive to this field and beep and/or reset, and the battery gauge will show scrambled messages.
The vehicle will operate normally and will not be unsafe to drive, but the readings can be confusing to the driver. When the field is removed both gauges will restore to their normal function and are undamaged.
E-Tuk Factory recommends a simple replacement of the opto-coupler wiring towards the speedometer, and adding an extra ferrite clamp close to the BDI
