Increasing the range potential of the electric
vehicle
Note the following points for improving the range:
– Anticipatory driving and recuperative braking can
increase energy recovery.
– Do not carry unnecessary objects in the vehicle.
Too much weight in the vehicle reduces energy
savings.
– Driving with the windows closed reduces the
vehicle's drag.
– Check that the tire pressure is correct. The right
tire pressure reduces the vehicle's rolling
resistance.
– Limited use of vehicle functions increases energy
savings.

Recuperation with the electric vehicle
Unsuitable use of
WARNING
recuperation
Recuperation is a system that is used only for energy
recovery. When simultaneously using a recuperation
stage with a driver assistance system, the control
behavior of the driver assistance system is always
prioritized (independently of the display). It is not a
driver assistance system and cannot take over any
driver assistance system tasks.
e Do not use the deceleration effect of recupera-
tion as a distance control system.
e Always be ready to brake and stay a safe dis-
tance away from the vehicle in front.
e For greater braking power or for braking the ve-
hicle to a standstill, press the brake pedal as
required.
Automatic overrun recu-
WARNING
peration limited or not
available
The maximum overrun recuperation is limited.
The detection capability of the sensors can be im-
paired by being dirty, bad weather conditions (rain,
snow, ice, fog, spray) and unfavorable road condi-
tions (loose gravel reflective objects). Vehicles up
ahead may not be adequately detected or may not
be detected at all.
If automatic overrun recuperation (Auto setting) is
not available, such as if sensors are dirty, a message
to this effect will appear in the instrument cluster.
e Do not use automatic overrun recuperation in
conditions of poor visibility and bad road
conditions.
The recuperation mode can be set using the instru-
ment cluster in the vehicle.
> Please see chapter "Instrument cluster" on
page 127.
– Recuperation occurs when the accelerator pedal
is released while driving.
– Depending on the recuperation mode, the elec-
tric motor brakes the vehicle when the accelera-
tor pedal is released. Feeding energy back
(recuperation) into the high-voltage battery in-
creases the range of the vehicle.
– The amount of recuperated energy increases to a
maximum when the brake pedal is pressed. A
higher braking request is achieved using the ve-
hicle's wheel brakes.
– The maximum amount of regenerated energy
can be temporarily reduced in certain situations.
For example, when the high-voltage battery is
fully charged or when the vehicle is driven in very
high or low ambient temperatures.
– If the regenerative braking ability is reduced, a
message to this effect will appear in the central
display.
The standard regenerative braking level, which oc-
curs when the accelerator pedal is released, can be
configured between a low and high setting.
> Please see chapter "Energy recovery (recupera-
tion)" on page 217.
In tube 2 on the instrument cluster, the Power meter
shows the current regenerated amount of energy.
> Please see chapter "Instrument cluster" on
page 127.
The total amount of regenerated energy for the cur-
rent trip and the regenerated energy for previous
journeys or trips can be displayed in the central
display.
> Please see chapter "Porsche Communication
Management (PCM)" on page 173.
