People who have electric cars must be facing low range in summer. The range of electric cars reduces a bit in summer. There are many reasons why the range of electric cars reduces in summer. If you are also facing the same problem, then here we are telling you some tips with the help of which you can maintain the range of electric cars. Let us tell you that range is a very big and important part of any electric car. Due to low range, many times people do not trust buying an electric car, but by following these tips, the range of EVs can be taken out.
Do not charge fully
The battery of an electric car works just like the battery of a phone. Just as it is forbidden to fully charge the battery of a phone, similarly it is forbidden to fully charge the battery of an electric car. Experts say that the battery of an electric car should not be fully charged but should be charged up to 80 percent. Not only this, if the battery is less than 10 percent, then only the car should be put on charge. This increases the life of the battery and the battery can be used for a long time.
Use a less fast charger.
If you have an electric car and you charge your car with a fast charge, then it can affect the life of the battery. Sometimes you can use a fast charge in some situations, but charging the car with a fast charge every time can cause problems. It can affect the battery. If you want to get a good range from the car, then charge your electric car with a normal charger only. This does not affect the car's battery much.
Do not park the car in strong sunlight.
Avoid parking the car in strong sunlight. Parking the car in strong sunlight consumes more energy than the thermal management system. At the same time, the range coming from the battery can also be affected. In such a situation, one should always try to park the electric car in a shade or a parking lot. This will reduce the heat in the car's cabin and more battery will not be used for conditioning.
Fast acceleration and braking
If you want to get a good range from the electric car, then focus more on braking and acceleration. Do not speed up the car. Do not accelerate at once, this will increase the battery consumption. Apart from this, do not apply brakes too quickly. Try to maintain a proper distance from the car in front so that you do not have to apply brakes too quickly. By doing this, you can get more and better range from your electric car.
Use of AC
Electric cars do not have an engine, so the focus is more on the battery in this car. Almost all the work is done by the battery. In such a situation, the AC of the car should be used carefully. Use the AC of the car smartly. Very cold AC reduces the range. Therefore, keep the temperature between 24–26°C and adopt ventilation mode. While charging your electric car, cool the car beforehand. While charging at home or office, pre-cool the car with the app.
Do not keep too much stuff.
The battery of an electric car is very important. The more load is put on the battery, the lesser will be the range of the car. In such a situation, if you want to get a good range from the car, keep as little stuff as possible in the car. The more luggage you carry, the more the range of the vehicle will be affected. Apart from this, if you want to get a good range from the vehicle, take the support of a regenerative braking system.
Monitoring of tire pressure
Tire pressure can change rapidly in summer. The range of the vehicle can be affected by tire pressure. If the tire pressure is low or high, it can affect the range. Tires with low air increase rolling resistance, which consumes more energy and reduces the range. In such a situation, keep getting the tire pressure checked from time to time.
Apart from this, keep in mind that wherever you are going, whatever route you are choosing, plan it. Check in advance whether there is any short route or not. While planning the journey, if possible, choose routes with less climb and less traffic. Some navigation systems can help you choose the most efficient (energy-efficient) route.
