Long journey by electric vehicle: It requires preparation and different driving

A long journey by electric car needs preparation. Without it the driver may face a problem with his autonomy. Especially in the case that its destination is longer than the autonomy of the battery. Getting around by electric car can be cheap and seem ideal in the city, but it takes proper planning when we go out of town and have to travel many kilometers.

Electricity has rules of proper, responsible and economical operation. For example, we can not constantly go at high speed and have the requirement that the battery life remain high. The energy in this case decreases rapidly, in contrast to the use in cities where the autonomy may become even greater, after the use of the brake and deceleration in general.

It is well known that electric cars are designed, at least at this stage, especially for cities. Where you need speed for daily commuting, economy of movement due to high traffic, but also low emissions.

During the trip the driver should make a plan for the stops he will make during it, taking advantage of the opportunity to recharge the car in a resting phase. Recently, the number of fast chargers on the highways, but also on the main highways is constantly increasing. This facilitates the journey of an electric vehicle, without filling the driver with further stress.

Recently in Europe there are several charging stations for electric cars that run even on solar energy, helping to reduce the overall footprint. Searching for such stations should be the first choice, while always needing internet research in advance will solve the problems.

However, there are other factors that contribute to the proper preparation of the electric car. Tire pressure plays an important role in autonomy especially if the vehicle is loaded. On the other hand if the tires are very inflated, then the car will lose part of the traction, but mainly become more noisy, as the irregularities and imperfections of the road will pass inside the cabin.

Basically, however, we should know that the way an electric car is driven is very different from that of a conventional vehicle. Utilizing the downhill and the right speed will give the predicted autonomy. On the other hand, the fast acceleration consumes the battery and increases the consumption, while the driving goes beyond the ecological and “green” logic …
