2.5
VEHICLE RANGE: recommendations (1/2)
The vehicle range is approved for a
mixed NEDC cycle (New European
Driving Cycle).
In real usage, the range of an electric
vehicle may vary depending on several
factors over which you have partial con-
trol, which may make a considerable
difference to the vehicle range. These
factors are:
– speed and driving style;
– type of road;
– heating level;
– tyres;
– vehicle loading.
Speed and driving style
High speeds will reduce your vehicle’s
range.
A “sporty” driving style reduces your
vehicle range: opt for a “lighter” driving
style.
Drive at a constant speed.
Adapt your driving to avoid exces-
sive energy consumption. Please refer
to the “Charge meter” information in
Section 2.
Anticipate traffic changes by lifting your
foot off the accelerator pedal in order
to recover energy. Please refer to the
“Charge meter” information in Section
2.
Road type
Do not try to maintain the same speed
up a hill, accelerate no more than you
would on the level. Keep your foot in
the same position on the accelerator
pedal.
