Vehicle Range
The range of your electric TOMCAR®, in real usage, may vary depending on several factors over which you have partial
control, which may make a considerable difference to the vehicle range. These factors are:
- Speed and driving style.
- Type of road.
- Tires.
- Vehicle loading.
Speed and driving style
High speeds will reduce your vehicle’s range.
A “sporty” driving style reduces your vehicle range. opt for a “lighter” driving style.
Drive at a constant speed. Adapt your driving to avoid excessive energy consumption.
Anticipate traffic changes by lifting your foot off the accelerator pedal to recover energy.
Road type
Do not try to maintain the same speed up a hill. Accelerate no more than you would on a level ground.
Tires
An under inflated tire increases energy consumption. Comply with the specified tire pressure for your TOMCAR® while
driving on hard surfaces (paved roads, gravel roads etc.).
Use tires made by the same manufacturer with the same dimensions, structure and pressure on each axle.
Vehicle loading
Avoid pointlessly overloading your vehicle.
