Due to the increasing demand for electric cars in the country’s car sector, car companies have either started launching electric versions of their existing cars or have started launching new electric cars.
Often, the claims made by companies about the range of electric cars are not available to the customers, which can be due to many reasons ranging from technical to driving style.
If you also have or are planning to buy an electric car, then know here about the tips and tricks that you can get by following which you can increase your electric car driving range significantly.
Driving Mode: The driving range that the company often claims is about the car running in Eco mode. But instead of driving the car in eco mode, most of the people drive the car at top speed, due to which they get less driving range.
Therefore, if you want to increase the driving range of your electric car, then try to always drive the vehicle in eco mode i.e. speed of 40 to 45 kilometers per hour.
Parking: Electric cars are completely different from petrol cars and often people forget about this and park the electric car anywhere in the sun. In the summer season, you should try to park your electric car in the shade because sunlight and scorching heat can cause problems in your car’s battery, which directly affects the driving range of the car.
Overloading: The capacity of an electric car is different from that of a petrol or diesel car and this thing is not noticed by the people. If you have a 5 seater electric car, then try that never more than 5 passengers can sit in it because due to overloading, the battery consumption of the car is high and it directly affects the driving range of the car.
Tire Air Pressure: Tire air pressure is very important for petrol and diesel cars as well as electric cars. If you do not check the tire pressure of your electric car from time to time, then start doing it.
High or low tire pressure has a direct effect on the car’s battery, which spends more fast charging. Therefore, you should keep the air pressure in your car as per the set standard and keep checking the tire pressure from time to time.
