Factors that affect range when
running on electricity
The car's range for electric operation depends
on several factors. The ability to achieve a
long range varies according to the circum-
stances and conditions under which the car is
being driven.
The certified value for the car's mileage on
electric power should not be interpreted as an
expected range. The certification value is a
comparative value obtained by means of spe-
cial EU drive cycles. The actual range is
dependent on a number of factors.
Factors that affect the range
The driver can influence some factors, but has
no influence over others.
The longest range is achieved under extremely
favourable conditions when all factors have a
positive impact.
Factors the driver cannot influence
There are several external factors that affect
the range in varying degrees:
traffic situation
•
short driving distances
•
topography
•
outside temperature and headwind
•
road condition and surface.
•
The table shows the approximate relationship
between outside temperature and range, both

A warmer outside temperature has a positive
effect on range to a certain extent.
