Vehicle range: advice
VEHICLE RANGE: recommendations (1/2)
Speed and driving style
Driving at high speed will significantly
reduce your vehicle’s range.
Examples (at a steady speed):
– reducing the speed from approxi-
mately 80 mph (130 km/h) to 68 mph
(110 km/h) allows you to save up to
around 20% of fuel range;
– reducing your speed from approxi-
mately 56 mph (90 km/h) to 50 mph
(80 km/h) allows you to save up to
around 10% of fuel range.
A “sporty” driving style reduces your
vehicle range: opt for a “lighter” driving
style.
Advice:
– drive at a constant speed;
– keep an eye on the tools available
for viewing road conditions (charge
meter, current consumption, journey
record, etc.) ➥ 2.16;
– adapt your driving style to avoid ex-
cessive energy consumption;
– favour power recovery: anticipate
traffic changes by lifting your foot off
the accelerator pedal or by braking
gradually.
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;
– use of electrical accessories;
– vehicle loading.
Furthermore, activating ECO mode en-
ables the vehicle to automatically take
charge of all energy consumers (engine
power etc.) to reduce their consumption
to the fullest possible extent ➥ 2.16.
