How can I improve my EV's driving range?

Avoid frequent or sudden acceleration and deceleration, drive on flat, dry roads, and reduce power use by turning off high-power equipment such as A/C or adjusting its temperature.

Charge promptly when SOC is low to help ensure enough driving range and good acceleration performance.
