Key Habits to Avoid and Correct

1: Ignoring the Battery’s Optimal Charging RangeEV batteries perform best when maintained between 20% and 80% charge. Charging to 100% or letting the battery drop too low can accelerate degradation. I use scheduled charging to keep my vehicle within this optimal range, especially overnight.

2: Rapid Charging When Not NecessaryRapid charging is convenient for long trips but frequent use can stress the battery. I use rapid chargers sparingly to preserve battery health.

3: Overloading the EVExtra weight reduces range. I avoid carrying unnecessary items to optimize efficiency and get the most out of each charge.

4: Neglecting Tire MaintenanceProper tire pressure improves range and efficiency. I regularly check tire pressure and monitor wear to ensure safe, efficient driving.

5: Habitual Hard Acceleration and BrakingSmooth driving and using regenerative braking can extend range and reduce wear on components.

6: Not Utilizing Eco ModeEco Mode optimizes energy use and increases range. I use it on longer journeys to conserve battery life.

7: Ignoring Software UpdatesRegular software updates can improve performance and add new features. I keep my EV updated to enjoy these benefits.

8: Lack of Preconditioning in Extreme WeatherPreconditioning the vehicle to an optimal temperature before a trip can improve performance and efficiency. I make it a habit to precondition my EV, especially in extreme weather.

9: Assuming EVs Don’t Require MaintenanceRegular checks and servicing are essential for maintaining electrical systems, battery health, brakes, and tires. Ignoring maintenance can lead to decreased performance and costly repairs.

10: Long-Term Parking Without UseIf you plan to leave your EV parked for an extended period, charge the battery to 50-60% to prevent degradation.
