Distance per full charge is also shown. This
is an estimate of the electric range you
would have if you plugged in and fully
charged your vehicle right now. The higher
your electric efficiency, the higher your
distance per full charge.
Your electric efficiency is affected by your
driving style and route, climate control use,
outside temperature and other factors.
Best efficiency is achieved with mild to
moderate acceleration and braking,
moderate speeds and low climate control
usage.
Note:
Electric efficiency is a selectable
screen. See Customizing the Instrument
Cluster Display (page 124).

of energy recovered. You can switch brake
coach on or off in the settings menu. See
