An electric vehicle is a top contender when you want to boost your overall driving efficiency, but your habits behind the wheel will determine your actual range. Here are some tips to enhance every charge.
Drive Consistently
Gradual acceleration and braking limit energy waste, helping you maximize both range and battery durability.
Keep Speed in Mind
Driving at 65 mph or under—on highways and side roads—boosts your miles per charge and lowers the risk of tickets or accidents.
Keep Accessories to a Minimum
Switching off the climate control, stereo, and other systems when not needed cuts battery drain. Alternatively, set them to activate only as required.
Regenerative Braking Can Help
Using regenerative braking recovers kinetic energy when slowing down and returns it to the battery—ideal for city driving.
Avoid Driving During Periods of Extreme Weather
Very cold or hot conditions can greatly reduce your EV's efficiency. Avoid short winter trips to preserve up to half of your battery's capacity.
