Know your range – Tesla Car Rentals Sydney

If you’re driving a car then you most likely know how far you will get on one tank of petrol – if you’re driving an electric car, then you should know your range on one charge! As a Tesla driver, you have some of the longest ranges available in electric vehicles but here are a few range tips that you need to keep in mind and consider before leaving for your next trip.

What is range?

Before we get into the details, let’s first consider what we mean when we talk about the range. Range is the distance that your Tesla can travel on a single charge. The range of your EV is the amount of energy that your battery has stored. Did you know that as a Tesla driver, you can display your range as either a percentage of what is left or as an estimate of the distance you are able to drive?

Why use the energy app?

The actual range or distance that you can travel in your Tesla electric vehicle will differ based on numerous factors – just as in any car the driving style, personal habits and the environment will affect the distance you are able to drive. Your Tesla energy app will help you maximise your efficiency when it comes to the range of your EV. We will help you navigate your Tesla rental before you leave!

When driving, it’s important to keep in mind that the following factors will have an impact on your range 

• Stop and go traffic
• Uphill driving
• High driving speeds
• Shorter trips
• Rain or headwinds, weather conditions that will drastically change how your car needs to respond.

Colder weather can also have an impact on your range – and if you’re renting your Tesla it may take you by surprise. But lower temperatures can mean that your range will decrease due to your battery needing more energy. There are some tips and tricks to getting through the colder weather

• Keep your Tesla plugged in whenever possible
• Precondition your battery before turning on
• Limit your usage of the heat and air conditioning when driving as to conserve energy
