There is much informed discussion on the site and although I have had an ev for three years -so much I didn’t know that I probably should have. So far my take home points have been -
1. The battery charges faster when empty and slows as it gets full (I had no idea honestly)
2. Range drops with wet and windy conditions as well as cold
3. Warming the car up before I set out improves the range as well as my mood
4. Driving smoothly improves range
5. Charging a cold battery means a slower charge rate
6. Probably best not to keep the car at 100% charge for to long and to keep within the 20% - 80% range
7. Keep your tyres fully inflated to improve range
So what else should I know.....
(Really embarrassing that I hadn’t learned all this before I got my car☺)
