VEHICLE RANGE: recommendations (1/2)
A “sporty” driving style reduces your
vehicle range: opt for a “lighter” driving
style.
Advice:
– drive at a constant speed.
– keep an eye on the tools available
to you to view the road conditions
(charge meter, current consump-
tion, journey log, etc). Please refer
to the information on “Eco-driving” in
Section 2;
– adapt your driving style to avoid ex-
cessive energy consumption
– favour power recovery: anticipate
traffic changes by lifting your foot off
the accelerator pedal or by braking
gradually.
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.
The vehicle range is approved for a
mixed NEDC cycle (New European
Driving 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;
– heating level;
– tyres;
– use of electrical accessories;
– vehicle loading.
Furthermore, activating ECO mode en-
ables the vehicle to automatically take
charge of all energy consuming ele-
ments (engine power, heating, etc.) to
reduce their consumption to the fullest
possible extent. Please refer to the in-
formation on “Eco-driving” in Section 2.
Speed and driving style
High speeds will reduce your vehicle’s
range.
