Considering an electric vehicle to maximize your overall efficiency is a wise choice, but your driving behavior will determine the actual range you get. Below are some tips to make each charging session count.
Drive Consistently
Maintaining consistent speed changes and braking stops unnecessary energy loss, preserving both range and battery health.
Keep Speed in Mind
Sticking to 65 mph or less on highways and byways extends your charge and lowers the risk of speeding tickets or accidents.
Keep Accessories to a Minimum
Minimizing the use of climate control, audio, and other accessories reduces energy draw. You can also automate them so they run only when needed.
Regenerative Braking Can Help
When you brake, regenerative braking captures energy and returns it to the battery, which is especially useful in urban traffic.
Avoid Driving During Periods of Extreme Weather
Hot or cold extremes can drastically reduce battery performance. Consider skipping short winter trips to maintain up to 50% more range.
