An electric vehicle can help you achieve the best possible efficiency, provided you adapt your driving habits. Here are some approaches to get the most mileage from every charge.
Drive Consistently
Uniform acceleration and braking conserve energy, extending the battery's range and lifespan.
Keep Speed in Mind
Limiting your speed to 65 mph or below—even on highways—will boost your miles per charge and decrease ticket or accident risks.
Keep Accessories to a Minimum
Switch off air conditioning, music, and other power draws to conserve battery life. Alternatively, set them to activate only when required.
Regenerative Braking Can Help
Regenerative braking captures kinetic energy during braking and returns it to the battery, particularly beneficial in stop-and-go conditions.
Avoid Driving During Periods of Extreme Weather
Avoid driving in extremely low or high temperatures to preserve your battery's capacity. In winter, short trips can cut effective range by half.
