Ways to Save Electric Energy and Extend the Vehicle's Service Life
■ The electric energy saving method is simple, easy and conducive to
extending the service life of the vehicle.
■ The following are some main points for saving electric energy and
maintenance & repair cost:
1. Setting feedback:
■ The vehicle is provided with energy recovery function and the energy
recovery intensity can be set in the → “Vehicle Settings” → “Energy
Management” interface of the multimedia system. When the energy recovery
mode is set to a high intensity, the energy recovered during braking and
slipping of the vehicle will be increased. Please set according to your driving
habits.
2. Maintaining vehicle speed:
■ Driving the vehicle at a constant speed is helpful for saving power. Rapid
acceleration, taking sharp turns and emergency brake will consume more
power.
■ Maintain a constant vehicle speed whenever possible depending on the
traffic condition. Every time the vehicle accelerates, it will consume additional
electric energy.
■ Accelerate the vehicle slowly and steadily. Avoid quick starting, abrupt
acceleration, and abrupt deceleration. 4
■ Maintain a stable speed and follow the traffic lights in driving, or drive on a
thoroughfare without traffic lights, with an appropriate distance kept from
vehicles ahead to avoid emergency brake, which will also reduce the wear of
the brake.
■ Avoid driving on roads with traffic congestion as far as possible.
■ Keep driving the vehicle at a proper speed on expressways. Higher vehicle
speed will result in consumption of more power. Keeping the speed in the
range of economic hourly speed can save power.
3. Reducing load:
■ The operation of A/C will increase additional load for the motor, consuming
more power. Turn off the A/C to reduce power consumption. When the
exterior air temperature is suitable, use the external air circulation mode as
the air intake mode.
■ Avoid loading unnecessary weights onto the vehicle. Excessive weights will
add the load of vehicle, consuming more energy.
