EV driving tips

To maximize the range of your electric vehicle and optimise its efficiency, try implementing eco-driving techniques in conjunction with your vehicle's capabilities.

Here are some ways to get the most out of your range:

1. Plan ahead and anticipate the road conditions to avoid abrupt acceleration and braking, promoting a smoother driving experience.
2. Maintain a moderate speed, as driving at excessive speeds can significantly impact energy consumption and range.
3. Optimise the use of heating and air conditioning systems. For instance, consider pre-heating the car while it is plugged-in to prevent draining the battery's energy at the start of your journey.
4. Familiarise yourself with your vehicle's eco-mode or any other eco-friendly features it offers. Utilising these features can enhance energy efficiency and increase your range by miles.
