RANGE
The distance you can drive the vehicle
(range) varies considerably depending
upon available charge, weather, tempera-
ture, usage, battery age, topography, and
driving style.
Refer to the Monroney label (window
sticker) for the official EPA range. Your ac-
tual range will vary and could be signifi-
cantly less, either initially or as the battery
ages and with use over time. For additional
information, see “Improve driving range”
(P. EV-22) for information on the factors that
affect vehicle range and how to use the
vehicle to maximize vehicle range.
IMPROVE DRIVING RANGE
Vehicle range depends on a number of
factors.
Actual vehicle range will vary depending
upon:
• Speed,
• Vehicle load,
• Electrical load from vehicle accessories,
• Traffic and road conditions,
• Distance driven without stopping,
• Usage,
• Driving style,
• Battery age,
• Weather or temperature,
• Topography,
• Charging habits.
NISSAN recommends the following driv-
ing habits to help maximize vehicle
range:
Before driving:
• Follow recommended periodic
maintenance.
• Keep tires inflated to correct pressure.
• Keep wheels in correct alignment.
• Pre-heat or pre-cool the interior cabin
while the vehicle is charging.
• Remove unnecessary cargo from the
vehicle.
While driving:
• Drive in ECO mode
–– The ECO mode helps reduce power
consumption by reducing acceleration
when compared to the same accelera-
tor pedal position in the D (Drive) posi-
tion (normal mode).
• Drive at a constant speed. Maintain cruis-
ing speeds with constant accelerator po-
sitions or by using cruise control when
appropriate.
• Accelerate slowly and smoothly. Gently
press and release the accelerator pedal
for acceleration and deceleration.
• Drive at moderate speeds on the
highway.
• Avoid extending highway driving with
multiple quick charges.
• Avoid frequent stopping and braking.
Maintain a safe distance behind other
vehicles.
• Turn off the air conditioner/heater when
it is not necessary.
• Select a moderate temperature setting
for heating or cooling to help reduce
power consumption.
• Use the air conditioner/heater and close
windows to reduce drag when cruising at
highway speed.
• Vehicle range may be substantially re-
duced in extremely cold conditions (for
example, -4°F (-20°C)).
• Using the climate control system to heat
the cabin when the outside temperature
is below 32°F (0°C) uses more electricity
and affects vehicle range more than
when using the heater when the tem-
perature is above 32°F (0°C).
