Efficiency
Use the following tips to help
maximize energy efficiency and
range.
In colder temperatures, while these
efficiency tips will help, the electric
vehicle driving range may be lower
due to higher energy usage.

Cluster)
The leaf indicator or green ring
indicator should be kept green and
in the center of the gauge.
Inefficient acceleration is indicated
