An EV offers an outstanding way to optimize your overall mileage, but your driving habits will ultimately decide the distance you cover. Consider the following tips to squeeze every mile out of each charging session.
Drive Consistently
Avoid sudden starts and stops to minimize energy loss, safeguarding both the battery's health and your driving range.
Keep Speed in Mind
Driving at 65 mph or below—even on highways—will help you get more miles per charge and lower your ticket and accident risk.
Keep Accessories to a Minimum
Turning off climate control, music, and other features reduces power usage. You can program them to run only when they're truly necessary.
Regenerative Braking Can Help
Engaging regenerative braking returns kinetic energy to the battery whenever you apply the brakes, which is particularly advantageous in heavy traffic.
Avoid Driving During Periods of Extreme Weather
Extreme heat or cold can diminish your EV's efficiency. Parking your car instead of making short trips could preserve up to half your battery's capacity in winter.
