What increases the range of an electric vehicle?

To increase the range of an electric vehicle, two important factors come into play: utilizing a high energy recovery (recuperation) level and reducing the heater temperature.

High energy recovery levels allow the vehicle to convert kinetic energy back into electrical energy during braking, thus extending the range by recharging the battery without additional energy consumption.

Reducing the heater temperature is also crucial because heating the cabin consumes a significant amount of battery power. By lowering the temperature, you conserve energy for driving.

The third option, short and sharp acceleration, negatively impacts range as it consumes more energy quickly. Thus, focusing on efficient driving techniques is essential for maximizing the range. Understanding these principles is important for electric vehicle operation in accordance with regulations defined for energy conservation and environmental protection in Germany.
