rate of the vehicle and the charge status
of the regenerative brakes.
•
POWER – Shows the energy
consumption rate of the vehicle
when driving uphill or accelerating.
The more electric energy used, the
higher the gauge level
•
CHARGE – Shows the charging
status of the battery when it is being
charged by the regenerative brakes.
The more electric energy charged,
the lower the gauge level
Distance to Empty (DTE)

Energy Consumption

There are several factors that
contribute to your electric vehicle's
energy consumption, including
maintenance of your vehicle,
driving style, weather, durability
of the battery and environmental
conditions.
Below are tips to help reduce
energy consumption:
•
Use Scheduled Climate settings
to preheat the vehicle before
driving
•
In EV Settings, select the Winter
Mode charge settings
•
Keep your vehicle in good
condition with regular
maintenance
•
Don't "ride" the brake pedal
•
Drive at a moderate speed,
accelerating smoothly and at a
moderate rate
•
Use the climate control system
less often. Use the Driver Only setting
•
Keep tires inflated to the recommended pressure
•
Travel lightly, without carrying unnecessary weight in
your vehicle
•
Ensure wheels are aligned correctly
•
Avoid placing large or heavy items on roof racks
•
Avoid hilly, winding or poorly maintained roads
