I am noticing that my Kia EV6's battery is not meeting the advertised range. What steps can I take to improve the range of my car's battery?
ReplyFirst, try to limit your use of energy-draining features such as climate control and regenerative braking. You can also optimize your driving habits by planning efficient routes and avoiding rapid acceleration and braking. Additionally, keeping your battery charged between 20-80% can help prolong its lifespan and improve overall range.
Another way to improve your battery's range is by allowing the car to preheat/precool while it's still plugged in. This will use grid power rather than draining the battery's energy. Additionally, keeping your tires properly inflated and avoiding excessive weight in the car can also help improve range.
If these steps do not improve your battery's range, it may be worth considering getting a software update for your car's battery management system. This can help optimize the battery's performance and improve range. You can also consult with a technician at your dealership for further assistance.
