Can you believe it’s March already? While we might be dreaming of warmer days and blooming flowers, it seems like winter isn’t quite ready to bid us farewell just yet. If you’re finding yourself shivering behind the wheel of your EV, fret not! We’ve got some practical tips to help you conquer the lingering chill and keep your EV journey smooth and enjoyable.
Care for Your Battery:
Just like us, EV batteries appreciate a little TLC, especially in colder conditions. Aim to maintain your battery level between 20 and 80 percent to optimize its performance and longevity. Additionally, be mindful of fast charging, particularly in freezing temperatures, as it can affect your battery’s health over time.
Preheat Strategical:
As the temperatures persist in staying low, take advantage of the preheating feature in your EV. Whether it’s through your smartphone app or key fob, preheating your car while it’s still plugged in ensures you step into a cozy cabin without compromising your battery life. It’s a small luxury that makes all the difference on frosty mornings.
Embrace Heated Comforts:
Say goodbye to cold seats and chilly hands with the wonders of heated seats and steering wheels. Not only are they a welcome treat for your comfort, but they also consume less energy compared to cranking up the heater. Let these cozy features be your allies during your chilly commutes. March can be unpredictable when it comes to weather, so don’t let the cold catch you off guard. Keep your winter gear handy inside the car for extra warmth during unexpected temperature drops.
