How To Optimize/Improve Your Electric Car's Range Overnight
- There are a few things you can do to immediately improve your EV range if you own an electric vehicle and are seeing a shorter range than you expect.
- One of the most effective ways to improve EV range is to alter your driving style.
- Select a route that allows you to travel at lower speeds, and some mapping apps let the user avoid steep inclines and traffic.
- While you might not think much about using the heat, defrost, or heated seats in the winter, those features use electricity.
- Most manufacturers suggest limiting the maximum state of charge (SoC) to around 80 percent on a regular basis.
- EV-specific tires are designed with low rolling resistance, which helps maintain the vehicle’s efficiency and range.
- Under- or overinflated tires don’t provide the best performance.
- A few small changes in how you drive and behave behind the wheel can have an outsized impact on the distances you can drive between charges.
- It’s still important to focus on the details if you want to get the absolute best out of your electric vehicle.
- If you want to learn more about how Sailun’s ERange tires can make a difference for your EV, please visit erangetires.com.

- The regulation, known as Advanced Clean Cars II, will have a seismic impact on the U.S. auto market, with 11 other states committed to adopting the regulations.
- However, the EPA waiver is unlikely to survive Trump's next term as president, as he has promised to end the 'EV mandate.'
- California's ability to impose tighter emissions standards has been long-standing, but the EPA approval is necessary for many of its environmental regulations.

- The new 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona EV is Dodge's first electric muscle car.
- It's powered by a 400-volt, 100.5 kWh battery pack and has immediate torque, wild horsepower, quiet operation, and zero tailpipe emissions.
- The Daytona is built on all-new underpinnings and its high models come with adaptive dampers.
- It comes in two versions, one with 670 horsepower and one with 496.
- The grades eventually will change into a four-door model but for now, its initial offering is a big coupe.
- The two-door model has a lot of legroom, but a rear seat passenger can feel cramped due to limited rear visibility.
- The new Charger Daytona is said to make it easy to place on sweeping curves and respond delightfully to input from its big steering wheel.
- The Charger Daytona is dubbed the electric muscle car and succeeds as a thoughtful and practical reimagining of the vehicular genre.
- The Charger Daytona's major downside is its interior materials. Trims pieces' plastic looks cheap.
- Range is estimated at 241 miles for the Scat Pack model, while the R/T version fares better at 308 miles.
