Range for electric operation
The car's range for electric operation is
dependent on several factors, such as the
number of consumers that are switched on.
Power consumers
In order to achieve the longest possible mile-
age for electric operation, the driver of an
electric car also has to think about saving
current (p. 286). The more consumers there
are (stereo, electric heating in windows/
mirrors/seats, very cold air from the climate
control system, etc.) that are switched on -
the shorter the potential mileage.
To specify the range for electric operation,
see Range - specification (p. 389).
NOTE
In addition to high power output in the
passenger compartment, high speed, sud-
den acceleration, heavy loads and uphill
gradients can also reduce the possible
driving distance.
Longer periods of inactive time
During normal hybrid battery charging (p.
286) some of the charging current is used to
keep the car's drive system ready to drive,
mainly to control the hybrid battery's tem-
perature. If the car is not being used for a few
days then energy can be saved by not star-
08
ting preconditioning. If the car is not used for
a long time, the hybrid battery performs best

if the car is parked in a cool place. For further
information about what to consider during
longer periods of inactive time, see Long-
term storage - points to remember (p. 295).
