Managing the range of an electric vehicle is essential to ensure a safe and trouble-free trip. There are several factors to take into account in order to achieve it optimally. Here are some of them.
First, it is important to select the right driving mode. Most electric cars have different driving modes (Eco, Sport and Normal) that affect performance and range.
Eco mode is the most efficient in terms of energy consumption and is therefore the best for maximizing range.
Secondly, it is key to pay attention to the speed of the car, since it plays a fundamental role in the autonomy, because as it increases, so does the energy consumption.

Also, you should pay attention to battery charging. Most electric vehicles have a battery charge indicator that shows the current charge level.
Under this premise, make sure that the battery is always as charged as possible before driving.
More Recommendations
Weather conditions can interfere with the actual range of your car, since the weather can significantly affect performance.
For example, in cold scenarios the battery can lose capacity, reducing range, so make sure the car is acclimatized before going out to drive in extreme weather conditions.
On the other hand, it is important to take into account the use of electrical accessories in the vehicle (air conditioning or navigation system), as they can consume a large amount of energy and reduce range.
In view of all these factors, remember to take into account the circumstances that may affect the true range capacity of your electric vehicle.
By following these guidelines, you can maximize the distance provided by the car to enjoy a pleasant and sustainable driving experience.
