The methods for energy-saving new energy vehicles can be summarized as follows:
1. Optimize driving habits: Smooth driving: Avoid sudden acceleration and braking, and try to maintain a constant speed while driving. Experiments have shown that driving within the speed range of 60-80 km/h is more energy-efficient. Advance route planning: Use navigation software to plan the most economical driving route, avoid congested roads and unnecessary detours, and reduce situations of sudden acceleration and braking. Reasonably utilize the kinetic energy recovery system: During braking or deceleration, utilize the vehicle's kinetic energy recovery system to convert some of the kinetic energy into electrical energy and store it. When waiting for the red light, shift the gear to N to reduce unnecessary energy consumption.
2. Vehicle maintenance and upkeep: Regularly check tire pressure: maintain tire pressure within the normal range, reduce rolling resistance, and improve energy efficiency. Experiments have shown that higher tire pressure helps increase driving range. Control vehicle load: Avoid overloading, as the larger the load, the greater the power consumption. Regular charging and maintenance: Check and maintain the battery according to the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure that it is in the best working condition. When the car is not in use for a long time, it is also necessary to regularly charge the car battery to avoid the battery discharging on its own until it is scrapped. Check battery health: Check battery health through official apps or third-party software to promptly identify and address any issues.
3. Intelligent technology assistance: using adaptive cruise control: This function can automatically adjust the vehicle speed according to the speed of the preceding vehicle, maintain a safe distance, reduce unnecessary acceleration and deceleration, and help save energy. Adjust the strength of the kinetic energy recovery system according to road conditions: In clear road sections, the kinetic energy recovery system can be reduced or turned off; In congested road sections, the strength of the kinetic energy recovery system can be increased to recover excess kinetic energy. Reasonable use of air conditioning: When the weather is suitable, try to use natural air or open windows for ventilation; If air conditioning is required, set the appropriate temperature to avoid increasing energy consumption due to excessively high or low temperature settings.
Through the above methods, new energy vehicle owners can significantly improve the vehicle's endurance while reducing energy consumption, contributing to the environmental protection cause.
