Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly popular in Whangarei and across New Zealand, offering a cleaner and more sustainable way to get around. However, one common concern for EV owners is range anxiety - the fear of running out of battery power before reaching a charging station. While charging infrastructure is improving, maximizing your EV's range is still key, especially in Whangarei where charging points may be less frequent than in larger cities.
The good news is that with a few simple adjustments to your driving habits and regular maintenance, you can significantly increase your EV's range and enjoy worry-free driving. Let's dive into some practical tips from Snow Bros, your local EV experts in Whangarei.
Tips for Maximising EV Range
Smooth Acceleration and Braking
Just like with a petrol car, aggressive driving can drain your EV's battery faster. Hard acceleration and sudden braking put a strain on the battery, reducing its efficiency. By adopting a smoother driving style, with gentle acceleration and utilizing regenerative braking (where the car's motor acts as a generator to slow down and recharge the battery), you can extend your range significantly.
Tyre Pressure and Maintenance
Properly inflated tyres are crucial for maximising your EV's range. Underinflated tyres create more rolling resistance, meaning your car has to work harder and use more energy to move. Make sure to check your tyre pressure regularly and keep them properly inflated according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
At Snow Bros, we offer tyre services including pressure checks and rotations to keep your EV running efficiently.
Temperature Control
Extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, can impact your EV's battery performance and range. In hot weather, the battery has to work harder to cool itself, while in cold weather, the battery's chemical reactions slow down, reducing its capacity.
Utilize your EV's pre-conditioning features to warm or cool the cabin while it's still plugged in. This reduces the strain on the battery when you're on the road. Also, try to minimize the use of heating and air conditioning, especially on shorter trips.
