Electric vehicle guide
• Environment refers to weather, temperature, and terrain. Distance to empty is re
duced in cases of snow/rain/high winds or low temperatures, uphill or slippery or
rough road surfaces.
• High voltage battery energy is proportional to SOC (charge amount), but may vary
depending on the battery temperature, SOH (battery health), etc.
Change of distance to empty when 100% charging
• If the distance to empty is lowered due to learning by the driving style or the envi
ronment in which the vehicle is used, the driving distance may be increased again if
the vehicle continues to drive according to the "driving tips for improving the driving
distance". The distance to empty can be reset at the workshop, but it does not actu
ally increase the range. Therefore, the distance to empty may be inaccurate until the
learning proceeds.
• Distance to empty decreases when the high voltage battery temperature is low in
winter. It is not a permanent change. If the temperature rises, the distance to empty
is restored.
• Reducing the use of electrical loads increases the range available.
• Natural degradation of the high voltage battery occurs depending on the length of
use of the vehicle, which reduces the distance to empty.
Operating tips to improve driving range.
• As electric vehicles speed up, air resistance increases rapidly, so not speeding helps
more driving range.
• High driving energy is consumed during rapid acceleration. Motor regenerative
braking is restricted during rapid deceleration. Keep the accelerator pedal position
constant and drive at a constant speed.
• Excessive operation of the heater and air conditioner can increase power consump
tion and shorten the driving range. When setting the temperature to 22°C auto, op
timal energy consumption driving is possible. In particular, using a heated seat and
reducing air heating in winter is very helpful. Turn off the heater and air conditioner
when heating and cooling are not required.
• Selecting recirculation mode consumes less energy than selecting fresh mode. In
the fresh mode, energy consumption is large because the outdoor air must be re
heated or cooled. When driving with the window open, air resistance increases and
heater and air conditioner usage increases. So close the window completely whilst
driving to reduce energy consumption.
• When driving alone, use DRIVER ONLY mode when using the heater and air condi
tioning system.
• Always maintain the specified tyre pressure and use tyres exclusively for electric ve
hicles.
• Do not use unnecessary electrical components whilst driving.
• Do not load unnecessary items in the vehicle.
• Do not mount parts that may increase air resistance.
