The thick curve, which varies instantaneously on
both the discharge and regenerative braking portions,
represents the actual usage of the vehicle's pow-
ertrain. The outer thin lines indicate the maximum
available performance, which may be influenced by
factors such as the propulsion battery state of
charge, the powertrain components' temperature and
the key type. Any limitation will cause them to be par-
tially shaded.
VEHICLE RANGE
This vehicle is designed for short trips of up to 50 km
(31 miles). A variety of factors can influence the vehi-
cle's range and the time until charging is needed,
including:
•
Weather: In addition to temperature, slippery con-
ditions and strong headwinds can adversely affect
driving range and performance.
LYNX ADVENTURE ELECTRIC
•
Terrain: Rough terrain or frequent and difficult hill
climbs require more power from the vehicle, thus
affecting range.
•
Payload: A passenger and cargo increase demand
on the vehicle.
•
Style of Driving: An aggressive or high-speed
driving style utilizes more power than a conserva-
tive driving style. An average speed of 25 km/h
(15 mph) is within the optimal range.
•
Starting and Stopping: It takes more energy to
accelerate to a cruising speed than it does to
maintain the same speed.
•
Accessories: Additional accessories can add
weight and energy draw.
Data from previous trips, such as performance and
driving style, is used for calculating vehicle range.
