Acceleration

Lighten up on the right foot. The load of harsh acceleration and the drag of higher speeds drain EV batteries quickly. As it is, EVs are known for their instant application of power, so punching such a snappy pedal on frosty winter roads isn’t a great idea for safety in the first place. Keeping your cruising speed down to the limit will also bring longer range rewards. The US EPA states that your EV can use 14% less energy with a 15 km/h decrease in speed.Schedule your EV charging. While certified EV chargers are safe to leave plugged in overnight or for prolonged periods, EV batteries can discharge slightly after the charge station turns off. It’s usually a very minimal amount, but it’s easy to schedule your recharging to complete just before you head out in the morning.

Further recommendations are largely similar between gasoline and battery-powered rides: remove unnecessary weight, minimize wind drag by removing roof racks when not in use, and keep your tire pressures to the specification listed in your driver’s doorsill or behind the charge door.
