FAQs about the Real-World Range of a New Volvo EV

Q: Can the weather affect my actual driving range?

A: Yes. Frosty conditions in Kingston, MA can have a negative effect on both the efficiency and the ability to rapidly charge your Volvo EV. Also, you're likely to use your air conditioner or heated seats more in extremely hot or frigid weather, which can draw down your charge as well.

Q: Does the condition of my tires influence my EV's driving range?

A: Yes. Just as improperly inflated tires can affect your gas-powered vehicle's fuel economy, under-inflated or over-inflated tires can impact your EV's driving range. Duxbury drivers should regularly check their tires to ensure they have the correct air pressure. They can also install low rolling resistance tires on their vehicle.

Q: What else can I do to get the best realistic driving range possible?

A: You can conserve charge in your battery by avoiding high-speed driving in Middleboro. Punching the accelerator frequently can drain power from your battery. You can also precondition the cabin temperature of your vehicle while it is still charging. This way it can efficiently maintain the desired climate while you drive instead of altering it while using battery power alone.
