Range

The two factors that affect your range the most are your speed and your acceleration. To become an electric pro, follow this advice and get some serious range. 

• Avoid harsh braking
• Turn off Sport Mode when you don’t need it
• Drive at a moderate speed and avoid sudden acceleration
• When motorway driving, follow a vehicle that drives consistently, like a lorry, at a safe distance
• When planning your route, try to avoid large, steep hills

The more weight on board, the more charge you’ll use.

• Remove accessories you don’t use
• Make sure there’s no unneeded stuff on the back seats or in the boot
• If you’re not using your roof rack, take it off. It’s a real drag

Making sure your tyres are the right pressure will help you go far. Flatter tyres burn up energy and shorten the distance you can cover with a full charge.

• Check your tyre pressure at least once a month and before long journeys. You’ll find the recommended pressure in your vehicle’s handbook
• If they’re low, head to your nearest service station and top-up to the recommended levels
