I recently purchased a Kia Niro and I love everything about it, except for the limited range of the electric motor. I was wondering if there are any tips or tricks to extend the range and get more out of my electric motor experience.
ReplyHi Samantha, congratulations on your new Kia Niro! One tip to extend the range of your electric motor is to make sure you are utilizing regenerative braking. This means using your brakes sparingly and instead letting the motor slow the car down when coasting or coming to a stop. Also, try to avoid using the air conditioning or other electronic features that drain the battery unnecessarily.
Hey Samantha, great question! Another way to extend the range is to make sure your tires are properly inflated. Under-inflated tires can cause more friction, which in turn uses more battery power. Also, try to plan your trips to avoid high traffic areas or using the highway, as these tend to use more energy.
Hi Samantha, owning a Kia Niro is all about finding ways to maximize your electric driving experience. One trick is to pre-condition your car while it's still plugged in. This means using the climate control system to cool or heat the car while it's still charging, so that you can enjoy a comfortable temperature without using up battery power while driving.
