Range
Your range is primarily related to your car's battery level and your driving practices but external conditions can also be a factor. The battery level and expected range are displayed in the driver information area. The expected range tells you how far you can drive with the current battery level. It is calculated based on your driving pattern, both current and historical, and on real-time driving conditions.
Factors that affect your car's range
| Speed | Driving at higher speeds drains the battery more. |
| City driving and traffic situation | Varying your speed by frequently accelerating and braking will increase your battery consumption compared to keeping a constant speed. |
| Eco driving | Keep track of your driving and consumption to drive as economically as possible. |
| Outside temperature | The outside temperature can affect your battery consumption and range. |
| Battery temperature | A cold battery is less efficient and needs more energy to be heated. |
| Preconditioning | By preconditioning your car, you can decrease the energy used to heat it up as well as the battery. This can be done in the climate settings. |
| Climate settings | Which climate features are activated and to what extent affects your battery consumption. |
| Tyres and tyre pressure | Tyre condition and tyre pressure can affect your range. |
| Road condition and topography | The condition of the road, along with any potential slopes, can affect your car's battery consumption. |
| Towing | Towing a trailer demands more power from your car and will therefore adversely affect battery consumption. This is relative to the type of trailer being towed. |
Range in cold temperatures
Your car's battery can be negatively affected by cold temperatures and the battery’s charge capacity and range can be reduced compared to normal conditions. You can avoid this by always charging your car while it's parked, which can prove especially useful if you are parking in a cold climate.
Factory reset and range value
After a factory reset, or when the car is delivered from the factory, the estimated range is based on a certified value. After driving your car for a while, the estimated range is instead based on your historical driving patterns. You can change this back again in settings in the display.
