EXTENDING YOUR DRIVING RANGE PER CHARGE
•A little knowledge will go a long way to extend your driving range on the 500e .First and
foremost understand that the drive system and cabin temperature management features
use the most energy from the high voltage battery .Reducing energy draw from these
features are the easiest and most effective way to extend driving range .
• Just like a conventional vehicle, 500e likes to keeps things smooth and steady for most
efficient operation. When driving, avoid aggressive driving styles and high speeds for
extended times. When practical, choose surface streets over the highway, work to
maintain a steady speed to extend range .
•
The 500e uses high voltage components to heat and cool the cabin, so a little awareness can go a long way to extend range .When using automatic climate control, consider setting
temperatures a few degrees higher or lower during hot and cold days .If your 500e has been
soaking in hot or cold temperatures for an extended period, it is recommended that the car
be preconditioned via the mobile application while still plugged into a charging source .This
will allow 500e to use external power to establish a comfortable cabin temperature before
the drive, and allow the battery to maintain the temperature using significantly less energy .
Additional tips:
•keep tires properly inflated
• avoid carrying nonessential cargo
• be mindful of adding external accessories that may increase aerodynamic drag
• perform all scheduled maintenance at recommended intervals
