VEHICLE RANGE: recommendations (1/2)
The vehicle range is approved for an
ECE-15 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;
– electrical accessories and equip-ment;
– vehicle loading;
– tyres;
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 ex-
cessive energy consumption. Please
refer to the information on the “Charge
meter” in Section 2.
Anticipate traffic changes by lifting your
foot off the accelerator pedal in order to
recover energy.Road type
Do not try to maintain the same speed
up a hill, accelerate no more than you
would on the level. Keep your foot in
the same position on the accelerator
pedal.

Recommendations
In the event of freezing, manu-
ally de-ice the windscreen using a
scraper rather than the de-icing/de-
misting function in order to reduce
your energy consumption.
