Overcoming EV Range Anxiety
More and more drivers across the U.S. are choosing electric vehicles for their environmental benefits, advanced tech, and lower operating costs. However, some hesitate to switch due to EV range anxiety. This is the fear of the vehicle running out of power before you can get to your destination. There have been major improvements in EV range over the past few years, but compared to vehicles with an internal combustion engine, range is still limited. If you are interested in an EV but are still hesitant due to EV range anxiety, we have provided these tips for EV owners. Learn how to drive efficiently in an electric car and more.
Tips for EV Owners
- Plan your trips and understand range/consumption: It is important to understand how much power your vehicle uses and how much it is able to store. There are many factors that affect range such as temperature, the features you use, driving conditions, and speed. Consult your owner’s manual to find your car’s range. Before you head out on the road, consider how far you are traveling and where to find charging stations. Online tools like PlugShare, ChargePoint, or Electrify America can help you find charging stations along your route.
- Download charging apps: For added convenience, you can download charging apps on your smartphone that help you find charging stations, monitor your car’s battery level, and quickly pay for your charging sessions. Popular options include Greenlots, ChargePoint, and EVgo.
- Charge at home or at work: Your vehicle can be charged at home with a simple three-prong outlet or a professionally-installed charging station. If your workplace has charging stations available, it can be a great way to top off what was lost during your commute.
- Learn how to drive efficiently in an electric car: There are a few simple steps you can take to get the most out of your vehicle’s range. Consider using regenerative braking, slow acceleration, coasting to a stop, and maintaining a steady speed when you can.
