VEHICLE RANGE: recommendations (1/2)
The vehicle range is approved for a
mixed NEDC cycle (New European
Driving Cycle).
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;
– vehicle loading.
Furthermore, activating ECO mode en-
ables the vehicle to automatically take
charge of all energy-consuming ele-
ments to reduce their consumption to
the fullest possible extent. Please refer
to the information on “Eco-driving” in
Section 2.
Speed and driving style
High speeds will reduce your vehicle’s
range.
A “sporty” driving style reduces your
vehicle range: opt for a “lighter” driving
style.Drive at a constant speed.
Adapt your driving style to avoid exces-
sive energy consumption. Please refer
to the information on “Charge meter” in
Section 2.
Anticipate traffic changes by lifting
your foot off the accelerator pedal in
order to recover energy. Please refer
to the information on “Charge meter” in
Section 2.
Favour ECO mode (please see infor-
mation about “ECO mode function” in
Section 2).
Road type
Do not try to maintain the same speed
up a hill, accelerate no more than you
would on flat ground. Keep your foot
in the same position on the accelera-
tor pedal.
