Feature: Electric vehicles
• Pre-conditioning: Most electric vehicles can be programmed to warm the cabin, bring the battery up to temperature and even de-ice the windows for a preset departure time. If it’s plugged in, then it’ll use mains current instead of the battery and the range will remain intact. Parking indoors or using a cover will lighten the load on the heaters at the start of the drive.
• Plan your charge stops: Warmer batteries take less time to charge, so it’s best to avoid rapid charging shortly aſter a cold start. Some MG and Tesla models can heat the cells to the right temperature whilst en route to a charge point.
• Check the tyres: Under-inflated tyres are a safety risk and impact the range of an EV, so they should be checked at least every fortnight throughout the year. However, Continental claims tyres lose a couple of PSI for every 10°C drop in temperature, so it’s even more important to keep an eye on them during a cold snap.
