Driving an electric car can be a counterintuitive experience
31.12.69
When you get into an stimulating vehicle (EV), forget everything you have learned about being a parsimonious driver. The familiar rules to prevent fuel will not help you gain much on the range indicator. In fact, it may unbiased devour all those kilometres before recharging faster than you can imagine.
Driving an EV is counterintuitive to driving a petrol or diesel car, says Nissan Foreign product planning and zero emissions VP Pierre Loing on a look in on to South Africa.
“Stop and go is good for an electric vehicle.”
In other words, slogging it out in grievous city traffic, as well as travelling short distances to pick up the kids and buy groceries, all around to maximise an EV’s range – forget the N1; take Grayston drive.
The concept of classify in an electric vehicle is similar to that of fuel consumption in internal combustion engines. Actuate badly – speed, or sit in heavy traffic – and the encouragement consumption spikes, limiting the kilometres that can be travelled on that expensive tank of fossil.
