Extending Your Driving Range
Shift position
Selecting the most suitable shift position will help extend your driving range.
D - is the standard mode and provides full power access and normal regenerative braking
Eco - slightly reduces overall power thus conserving energy and slightly increasing regenerative braking
B
- provides full power with the strongest calibration of regenerative braking
Using the accelerator - drive smoothly, accelerate gently and
read the road ahead. Your real-time energy consumption
is displayed at the power meter. Try to keep the red needle
within the green Eco zone. When your foot is off the
accelerator or you are braking (regenerating energy), the red
needle should be in the blue Charge zone.
Freeway driving - use Eco mode and try to maintain a
consistent speed. The faster you go, the greater the energy
consumption and less overall range.
Uphill driving – use D mode and try to carry as much speed
(momentum) from the flat section of the road up the hill as
possible to avoid having to accelerate in the middle of the hill.
While decelerating - try to take your foot off the accelerator
as early as possible. The moment you take your foot off the
pedal, the vehicle will start regenerating electricity which is
especially effective while driving downhill in B mode.
