What Are the Driving Tips for Pure Electric Vehicles?
2 Answers
Here are some driving tips for electric vehicles: 1. Minimize Braking and Accelerate Smoothly: Opt for gentle throttle starts and moderate acceleration, avoiding sudden acceleration at traffic lights followed by hard braking when approaching the vehicle ahead. Such driving behavior leads to high energy consumption and increased risk. Smooth driving can improve energy efficiency by approximately 20%. 2. Use Air Conditioning Wisely and Maintain Proper Tire Pressure: The air conditioning temperature is generally recommended to be set at 25°C. When the temperature is not too high, use the ventilation function more often. Tire pressure that is 20% lower than normal can increase energy consumption by 8%. Higher tire pressure reduces consumption but shortens tire lifespan and decreases traction. 3. Lift the Throttle Quickly and Coast: Pure electric vehicles feature an "energy recovery" capability that traditional vehicles lack. Quickly lifting the throttle after acceleration not only prevents energy waste but also recycles energy, charging the battery and replenishing power.
When driving a pure electric vehicle, I prioritize energy efficiency. The primary technique is to use regenerative braking, which automatically recovers energy when the accelerator is released, reducing brake pad wear. Gentle acceleration avoids sudden starts and stops, and smooth driving can save up to 30% of battery power. Pre-heating the battery before winter ensures performance in cold temperatures, and avoiding leaving the battery at 100% charge for extended periods prevents over-discharge. Tire pressure should be checked regularly, as low pressure increases resistance and energy consumption. For safety, the pedestrian warning function should be enabled, as electric vehicles are quiet and easily overlooked. During maintenance, monitor battery health—checking once a year can extend its lifespan.
