Tip 1: increase tire pressure.

one

tire pressure

More air saves fuel, protects tires and improves driving safety. Our recommendation: Pump 0.5 bar more than recommended by the manufacturer and check the pressure monthly.

2

out with ballast

Those you don’t need can stay at home. Because the lighter the car, the lower the energy consumption.

3

Roof rack gone

You can go cheaper with less air resistance. Therefore, always with ski racks and luggage boxes when not needed.

4

Air conditioning only from 18 degrees

When the outside temperature drops below 18 degrees, the air conditioner (AC) consumes unnecessary energy. When the pods are clean, you’d better turn them off. For greater range at low temperatures: Warm up the vehicle from the mains shortly before take off.

5

use cruise control

Balanced driving means equal energy savings. It’s easy with a classic or adaptive cruise control. Also in the city.

6

warm up carefully

Use seat heating as an alternative to conventional heating in cold weather. Heating the body directly uses less electricity than heating the air around it.

7

Use the onboard computer and navigation system

The on-board computer provides information on consumption and driving style, the navigation system finds the best route and gives route-specific tips on how to save money while driving.

8.

Drive in the right mode

Choose the ideal driving mode for the route – it doesn’t always have to be “Sport”, it can also be “Eco”. The accelerator pedal then optimally regulates recovery, deceleration and acceleration.

9

Drive and plan ahead

Drive with foresight, balance and sufficient distance. So you are safe on the road and can use the deceleration and recovery function in a targeted way.

10

step up gradually

The electric car reacts immediately when you press the gas. So step on the gas carefully. This saves energy and protects the tyres.

Roll and sail

Allow the vehicle to skid (“sail”) early before intersections, stops or obstacles, and brake first with recovery and then normal brakes if necessary.

12

Gently uphill, sparingly downhill

Drive steadily uphill and accelerate slightly. Use downhill recovery for constant speed and energy production.
