Planning your electric car trip
It is important to have knowledge of your electric car's of your electric car if you're going on a long trip. For example, it's essential to know the real range of your electric vehicle to avoid unpleasant surprises on the road. But that's not all.
The impact of cold on electric cars
Another parameter to consider is the impact of cold on your vehicle. Indeed, electric cars have a slight disadvantage when winter arrives: their sensitivity to cold, which will mainly impact their battery.
For example, relatively low winter temperatures can result inlengthen the recharging time of an electric car. This is an important factor to take into account, and could extend the duration of your journey.

What's more, since electric vehicles are not necessarily suited to driving in the mountains or on snow-covered roads, it's important to remember to winter tires. Indeed, having the right equipment, adapted to mountain roads, will enable you to drive more serenely and ensure safer driving. driving.
Preparing to recharge your electric car
What's more, it's important to to plan ahead for recharging your electric car during your your vacation journey. To do this, you'll need to have a good knowledge of the route you'll be taking, and consult the itinerary in advance of your departure, in order to locate the charging stations available on the road. You'll also need to estimate the time required for each charge so you can plan your whole trip.
According toAvere Francethere are currently 71,630 charging stations in France. However, this still falls short of the government's target of installing 100,000 charging points in France.. In Europe, there are more than 330,000 charging points available to the public. On average, it is estimated that there are five charging points every 100 km across Europe.
Once you're there, you'll also need to the possibility of recharging your electric vehicle at the hotel directly at the hotel, or at least close to the accommodation you've booked. To do this, check out the presence of electric recharging points directly on the site where you have made your reservation. It's also possible to ask to reserve a domestic socket for recharging your electric car. Finally, don't forget to consult the ChargeMapapplication, which allows you to locate the charging stations available in your area.

Saving energy with electric cars
To prevent unnecessary use of your electric vehicle's energy, you can remember to preheating your electric car, about 15 to 20 minutes before you set off. Remember to do this while your vehicle is still charging, to maximize the range available once you're on the road.
In fact, during the journey, the preheating method keeps both the passenger compartment and the battery at a comfortable temperature, therebyavoid cold-induced over-consumption of the electric battery's energy..
Optimize your electric car trip
During your journey to your vacation destination, there are also various tips to optimize your tripespecially if your trip takes place in winter and includes a mountain itinerary.
On the road, you'll need to think in particular about optimize your use of the various equipment on your electric vehicle to reduce energy consumption and keep your electric car's range as long as possible.

Monitoring the energy consumption of electric cars
It's also worth thinking about practice eco-driving by reducing speed on the freeway, for example, in order to maintain the electric car's range for as long as possible and save time on the journey.
In fact, it is recommended to keep freeway speeds between 100 km/h and 110 km/h to reduce the energy consumed by the vehicle and maximize its range.
For example, the Tesla Model 3 covered a distance of 800 kilometers at a constant speed of 130 km/h. It then made the same journey at 110 km/h. As a result, driving at 110 km/h saved savings of 14% in the total energy consumption of the electric carfrom 149 kWh at 130 km/h to 128 kWh at 110 km/h.
The same experiment was then carried out for the MG ZS EV. Conclusion: 16% energy savings this time, with consumption of 212 kWh at 130 km/h, compared with just 178 kWh at 110 km/h.
Give priority to national and departmental roads
In addition, if you can, it may be worthwhile to take some of the following routes national and departmental roads during your journey. An electric car consumes more energy on the freeway, driving off the motorway, at least for part of the journey, will save you energy compared with driving entirely on the freeway.
What's more, the shorter stretches of road you'll be riding on will give you a boost of energy, notably through l'regenerative braking. Regenerative braking enables you to recuperate a little energy, by transforming the kinetic energy captured during braking into electrical energy, with the aim of recharge the electric vehicle's battery.
In fact, regenerative braking can save up to 75% of the energy that would otherwise have been wasted by conventional braking. However, once again, you'll need to make sure that the main roads you'll be taking are are equipped with nearby recharging points.
