Energy Detail
This screen displays how energy is being
used since the last time the high voltage
battery was fully charged. It includes Driving
and Accessories, Climate Settings, and
Battery Conditioning. The circle graph
displays these percentages. Energy used,
distance traveled, efficiency since last full
charge, and lifetime efficiency are also
displayed.Range ImpactsThis screen provides an estimate of the
factors that influence energy usage since the
last full charge of the high voltage battery.
Each factor is evaluated for energy gains or
losses, and the total equivalent distance is
indicated by the value on the upper right
side of the screen. All values are reset after
a complete charge.
.Technique
includes speed, acceleration,
and braking. Lower speeds will increase
electric vehicle technique miles, while
higher speeds will reduce them.
.Terrain includes road conditions, such as
hills, rain, and snow. External factors like
wind will also positively or negatively
impact Terrain. Low tire pressure will
worsen Terrain performance.
.Climate Settings includes how the heating
and air conditioning are used. Using Fan
Only settings will help reduce climate
setting losses. See “Climate Controls.”
.Outside Temperature includes the effect
that hot or cold ambient temperature has
on the battery performance and
propulsion system efficiency.
The individual factors provide an
understanding of how energy usage is
different from day to day, even when
traveling the same route.
Efficiency History
This screen displays a graph showing the
energy efficiency that has been used over
the last 50 km (50 mi). The Present point
provides the average energy efficiency for
the current 5 km (5 mi).
Touch Reset to clear the history data.
