How do different driving profiles affect my range?
Like a conventional combustion-powered car, the type of driving you’re doing, such as motorway or city driving, will affect its energy consumption – and therefore its range. Unlike a combustion car, which is typically most efficient at constant speeds with less frequent acceleration, such as on motorways, an electric car is least efficient at the higher speeds achieved on these types of road. This is because the aerodynamic drag working against the car becomes proportionately much greater at high speed, which means it requires more energy.
