Electric operation range in urban
environment
The car's range for electric operation depends
on several factors. The ability to achieve a long
range varies according to the circumstances and
conditions under which the car is being driven.
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 that affect the range
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 ratio between
the outside temperature and the range of a car
with reduced climate settings. A warmer outside
temperature has a positive effect on range.
