Operating tips to improve driving range.
-
As electric vehicles speed up, air resistance increases rapidly, so not speeding helps more driving range.
-
High driving energy is consumed during rapid acceleration. Motor regenerative braking is restricted during rapid deceleration. Keep the accelerator pedal position constant and drive at a constant speed.
-
Excessive operation of the heater and air conditioner can increase power consumption and shorten the driving range. When setting the temperature to 22°C auto, optimal energy consumption driving is possible. In particular, using a heated seat and reducing air heating in winter is very helpful. Turn off the heater and air conditioner when heating and cooling are not needed.
-
Selecting recirculation mode consumes less energy than selecting fresh mode. In the fresh mode, energy consumption is large because the outdoor air must be reheated or cooled. When driving with the window open, air resistance increases and heater and air conditioner usage increases. So close the window completely while driving to reduce energy consumption.
-
When driving alone, use DRIVER ONLY mode when using the heater and air conditioning system.
-
Always maintain the specified tire pressure and use tires exclusively for electric vehicles.
-
Do not use unnecessary electrical components while driving.
-
Do not load unnecessary items in the vehicle.
-
Do not mount parts that may increase air resistance.
