Driving Tips to Maximize Range


Driving Tips to Maximize Range

  • Try to maintain an even speed and avoid abrupt and/or frequent acceleration and deceleration. When safe to do so, use the cruise control during road trips.
  • When it is safe to do so, use one-pedal driving techniques to gradually slow the vehicle using High regenerative braking rather than friction braking. Additionally, use Hold mode braking, when possible. See Braking Systems.
  • Switch to Smooth Mode. See Drive Modes.
  • Limit the use of the heating and air conditioning controls, when possible. Using the heated and ventilated seat options is more efficient.
  • Use Auto and Sync settings in the HVAC menu with a set temperature of 72 °F (22 °C), when possible.
  • Keep windows closed, when possible, to reduce drag.
  • Ensure tires are maintained at their specified inflation pressures. See Maintaining Tire Pressures.
  • Remove any unnecessary cargo to reduce vehicle load weight.
  • When possible, avoid routes consisting of twisting roads, significant grades or elevation gains, and strong headwinds.
