Here’s How to Extend Your Mercedes-Benz EV Range
Let’s consider the top ways to maximize range:
- One of the biggest factors affecting range is how you drive. Quick acceleration and heavy braking can quickly deplete battery power, so try gentle starts and use regenerative braking whenever possible. It’s not just good for your mileage—it’s also a fun way to feel the car’s tech working for you.
- Another tip is temperature management. Batteries perform differently in extreme heat or cold. Whenever possible, park in shaded areas or garages in the summer, and precondition your cabin while the car is plugged in during colder months. This helps reduce energy use when you start driving.
- Tire health and pressure also make a noticeable difference. Under-inflated tires increase rolling resistance, which drains the battery. Check your tire pressure regularly to ensure it remains at the manufacturer’s recommended level.
- Planning your trips with route and speed in mind is another simple trick. Highway driving at high speeds consumes more energy than city driving with steady acceleration. Many Mercedes-Benz EVs come with smart navigation tools that suggest energy-efficient routes—use them to your advantage.
- Lastly, charging habits can affect long-term range. Frequent use of fast chargers is convenient but can slightly degrade battery longevity over time. Mixing in regular Level 2 charging sessions at home or work can help keep your battery healthier over the long term.
