Along with relying on an EV's range, drivers should also keep in mind the following ways to save battery power for electric vehicles.

 

1- Maintain stable performance

 

This tip really holds true whether you're driving a hybrid, gas-powered vehicle, or an EV. When accelerating suddenly, you are using more battery power. The best thing to do is to try to get rid of this habit. The more gentle you are while accelerating, the less energy you will use.

 

The website MyEV says: Try to keep your speed below 60 mph (96.5 km/h) whenever possible as it will not only help you avoid speeding fines but also increase battery range for electric vehicles. This can be difficult for some EV drivers because the vehicle's acceleration is strong and exciting.However, we need to keep an eye on the odometer. The operating range is on the dashboard to use fuel efficiently, avoiding the phenomenon of running out of power in the middle of the road.

 


 

2- Tires are properly inflated

 

Chances are, we've heard this driving tip before. This is a method that has been discovered since gasoline cars were still "lonely and defeated" on the market.

 


Similar to combustion engines, be sure to keep your EV tires properly inflated, to the pressure recommended by the manufacturer. Therefore, let's use a tire pressure gauge to monitor this part regularly.

 

3- Know the travel routes

 

If you are driving on the highway, choose appropriate routes that allow you to drive more steadily. And if possible, try to avoid roads with heavy traffic. Some trams are equipped with a navigation system that suggests routes to help save energy, which is extremely useful.

 

4- Turn on "Eco" driving mode

 

Normally, electric vehicles are equipped with Eco mode to help reduce energy consumption and accelerate gently. According to many owners, this mode is always effective on electric vehicles. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when using this EV driving tip. Fuel Economy magazine says: Eco mode can limit vehicle performance details, such as acceleration, which helps save fuel.

 

 

5- Read the owner's manual carefully

 

 

If we need more tips on how to manage energy use, we should consult the manufacturer's manual because every electric vehicle is different. As a result, the manufacturer of the new owner's car can come up with the best ways to maximize fuel economy, driving range and battery life.
