Here's how you can optimize your electric car's range

11 Jun 2024
  • What are the reasons that may lead to poor electric range of your car?
  • How can you maintain your car's electric range for as long as possible?

With the increase in global awareness in combating climate change and the trend towards more environmentally friendly manufacturing methods and methods, the automobile industry has turned to electric mobility solutions, and we are seeing electric and hybrid cars on all roads despite the infrastructure challenges represented by the availability of charging stations. For this reason, if you own an electric car, in the following lines we have provided you with a number of tips that will enable you to make the most of your electric car’s range before needing to charge it again.

Reasons for low range in your electric car

Reasons for low range in your electric car

Before we delve into the ways and means by which you can preserve your car’s electric range and make optimal use of it, you must be aware of the factors that may affect your car’s range consumption, such as the efficiency of your car’s engine. The more efficient the engine, the less energy used to operate it; Which means more energy is available to cover longer distances. Battery capacity also affects power consumption, as a higher battery capacity provides a better charging opportunity and thus a wider range. Unfortunately, many modern car systems, such as large infotainment screens and heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, can consume large amounts of battery power.

Of course, if your car is heavy, it will consume more energy, which will affect its electric range. Likewise, electric cars are affected, as is the case with internal combustion cars, by traffic conditions. Frequent stopping in traffic congestion also negatively affects the energy consumption of the electric motor and reduces its range. By the same principle, reckless driving, excessive speed, and sudden acceleration negatively affect the energy levels of the car.

According to many studies, there are many ways and means through which you can rationalize the consumption of your car’s electric range. For example, if you are about to buy a new electric car, you should choose versions that have the smart charging feature that contributes to storing more energy in the battery in order to Use it later when there is a sudden loss of generated power, thus maintaining an ideal electrical range.

Also, make sure to choose a car with an exterior design with low air resistance, which are cars that have a streamlined exterior structure designed from lightweight materials. These versions are characterized by high aerodynamics that reduce electrical energy consumption while driving.

If you are in the middle of a road trip far from the nearest electric charging station, be sure to rationalize your consumption of electrical energy by rationalizing the use of modern technical car systems and air conditioning to reduce energy consumption. Also be sure to choose a quiet and moderate driving style so as not to consume a lot of your car’s range. .
