Information
Driving for Better
Energy Efficiency
Use the tips in the categories
below to help maximize energy
efficiency and range.
In colder temperatures, while
these efficiency tips will help,
the electric vehicle driving
range will be lower due to
higher energy usage including
energy spent heating the
cabin.
The Energy Usage card
available on the Driver
Information Center (DIC)
estimates the influence of the
main factors impacting vehicle
range. It displays how energy
is being used for the current
drive since the last time the
vehicle was started. See
Driver Information Center
(DIC) 0132 and
Vehicle Information 0133.
