8.5. Range
Your car's expected range is shown in the display and depends on several factors.
Your range is primarily related to your car's battery level and your driving practices but external conditions can also be a factor.
The battery level and expected range are displayed in the driver information area. The expected range tells you how far you can
drive with the current battery level. It is calculated based on your driving pattern, both current and historical, and on real-time
driving conditions.
Factors that affect your car's range
How you drive your car, which settings or features are activated, weather conditions and traffic can all affect your car's range in
different ways.
Driving at higher speeds drains the battery more.
Speed
Varying your speed by frequently accelerating and braking will increase your battery consumption compared to keeping a constant speed.
City driving and traffic
situation
Keep track of your driving and consumption to drive as economically as possible.
The outside temperature can affect your battery consumption and range.

Preconditioning
A cold battery is less efficient and needs more energy to be heated.
By preconditioning your car, you can decrease the energy used to heat it up as well as the battery. This can be done in the climate settings.
Which climate features are activated and to what extent affects your battery consumption.
Tyre condition and tyre pressure can affect your range.
Climate settings
Tyres and tyre pressure
The condition of the road, along with any potential slopes, can affect your car's battery consumption.
Road condition and
topography
Towing a trailer demands more power from your car and will therefore adversely affect battery consumption. This is relative to the type of
trailer being towed.
Towing
Range in cold temperatures
Your car's battery can be negatively affected by cold temperatures. When the car has a cold battery, a snowflake
appears
next to the battery percentage. This indicates that the battery’s charge capacity and range are reduced compared to normal con-
ditions. You can avoid this by always charging your car while it's parked, which can prove especially useful if you are parking in
a cold climate.
