Learn how to optimize your electric vehicle's range by adjusting your driving habits and minimizing energy consumption.
This is a sponsored article from our partners at ERANGE EV.All new electric vehicles receive a range estimate, just like gas vehicles see EPA-estimated fuel consumption ratings. However, much like their gas-powered counterparts, there are a number of factors that impact the distance an EV can travel on one charge.
If you own an electric vehicle and are seeing a shorter range than you expect, there are a few things you can do to immediately improve the situation, and most of them won’t cost you anything more than a few minutes and a little extra care from behind the wheel. Here are some of the things you can do to improve your EV range overnight. Lighten Your Lead Foot One of the most effective ways to improve EV range is to alter your driving style. Many EVs offer strong torque off the line, making them wildly entertaining, but putting your foot down out of every red light or stop sign is a good way to drain the range. Just like gas cars burn more fuel under hard acceleration, EVs often see a significantly reduced driving range when the driver puts their foot down. Aggressive driving also impacts brake wear and can stress suspension and other components. Regenerative braking helps avoid some of that brake wear, but it’s not suitable for use in all stopping situations. We’re not telling you to creep around at walking speeds. Instead, try to accelerate and brake smoothly, avoiding jerky starts and stops. It’s also a good idea to drive as close to the speed limit as possible on the highway, as EVs already miss their best range targets at higher speeds. Cruise control can help remedy some of the highway-speed range issues, as it maintains a constant speed and lets the driver avoid riding the accelerator pedal while cruisin
