STARTING AND DRIVING
472
Factors the driver cannot influence
There are several external factors that affect
the range in varying degrees:
•
traffic situation
•
short driving distances
•
topography
•
outside temperature and headwind
•
road condition and surface.
The table shows the approximate relationship
between outside temperature and range, both
in a car with deactivated passenger compart-
ment climate control, as well as in a car with
normal passenger compartment climate con-
trol.
A warmer outside temperature has a positive
effect on range to a certain extent.

Factors the driver can influence
The driver should be aware that the following
factors affect the range so he/she can operate
the car in an energy-efficient manner:
•
regular charging
•
preconditioning
•
drive mode
Pure
•
climate settings
•
speed and acceleration
•
Hold function
•
tyres and tyre pressure.
The table shows the approximate relationship
between constant speed and range, where a
lower constant speed has a positive effect on
range.
Constant speed
100 km/h (62 mph) 50 %
80 km/h (50 mph) 70 %
60 km/h (37 mph) 90 %
50 km/h (31 mph) 100 %
NOTE
•
The values shown in the tables relate
to a new car.
•
These values are not absolute, but are
dependent upon driving behaviour,
environment and other circumstances.
