Eco-driving

Traffic

To maximize the range and minimize energy consumption you can use a technique called eco-driving.
The following tips is for minimizing fuel consumption on a gasoline car, but many of them ca also be used while driving an EV.

> Drive as little as possible on first gear, change to second gear after only a couple of meters.

> Skip gears, e.g. from second to forth.

> Accelerate rather quickly.

> Use as high gears as possible.

> Use engine braking as often as possible.

> Stop as little as possible, it's better to roll slowly towards a red light then braking into a stop in front of the intersection.

> Use the clutch only when changing gear.

> Dismount roof racks and similar, lowering the air resistance.

> Have the right tyre pressure.

> Use the AC only when needed.
