Driving Information
Driving for Better Energy
Efficiency
Use the following tips to help
maximise energy efficiency and
range.
In colder temperatures, while these
efficiency tips will help, the electric
vehicle driving range may be lower
due to higher energy usage.
Driving Style
Efficiency Gauge (Instrument
Cluster)
The ball indicator should be kept
green and in the centre of the
gauge.
Inefficient acceleration is indicated
when the ball turns yellow and
travels above the centre of the
gauge.
Aggressive braking is indicated
when the ball turns yellow and
travels below the centre of the
gauge.
Acceleration/Braking/Coasting
Avoid unnecessary rapid
accelerations and decelerations.
Electric range is maximised at
80 km/h and below. Higher speeds
use more energy and can
significantly reduce electric range.
Use cruise control when
appropriate.
Plan ahead for decelerations and
coast whenever possible. For
example, do not rush to traffic
signals.
Do not shift to N (Neutral) to coast.
The vehicle recovers energy while
coasting and braking in D (Drive)
or L (Low).
Drive Mode and PRNDL Selection
Use Normal Mode when possible.
