You can increase the range of any electric car by 30-50% using a simple skill!

Urban Recuperation: An Inefficient Waste of Energy

The recuperation system in the city is extremely inefficient. Only 10-20% of the energy is returned to the battery, the rest is wasted as heat. Manufacturers do not emphasize this, but this means that most of the energy is lost!

Your Benefit: Freedom and Savings

Imagine driving much further on one charge, charging less and saving money and most importantly, you save your time.

Secret: Neutral Gear (N)

The key to increasing the range is to use neutral gear (N). Once you reach the desired speed, switch to neutral. This reduces the resistance of the transmission and engine, allowing the car to coast much longer. Our roads, like our whole life, have both ascents and descents. So when you have a descent ahead, this is a chance to save kW and overcome new ascents ahead, which you simply could not reach before. In D mode, the engine creates resistance, activating recuperation, which is often ineffective in the city, and the energy is dissipated as heat. In neutral, you use kinetic energy to the maximum.

Let me clarify: When the battery is 100% charged, recuperation does not work, and the energy is also dissipated as heat. Therefore, “N” becomes even more efficient.
New Braking Style: Get used to it!

Be prepared: with recuperation turned off (in N mode), the car will slow down more slowly. This will require more attention and an early start to braking. Do not worry, after a maximum of a month of practice, you will get the hang of this style, learning to use inertia wisely.

This is not a trick, but a fundamental change in the approach to driving, which will open up a new level of efficiency and freedom for you! Ready for new sensations? Go!
