How to charge

■ Normal charging (P. 6)

The traction battery can be charged from an AC outlet using the

vehicle’s charging cable or from charging equipment that is

installed at public charging stations or home.

■ Quick charging (if equipped) (P. 10)

The traction battery is charged in a short time with quick chargers

that are compliant with the CHAdeMO (CHAdeMO is a trade name

of quick charging method) specifications.

■ Charging equipment and names

The traction battery can be charged in the two ways: normal or

quick charging.

Before charging, carefully read the vehicle Owner’s Manual and follow the

procedures accordingly. Mishandling of the charging procedures may lead

to fire or electrical shock, possibly resulting in death or serious injury.

EV (Electric Vehicle) driving tips

■ Driving in D position

The D position allows the most efficient driving.

■ Route selection

● Repeated acceleration and deceleration due to traffic conges-

tion, long waits at traffic lights, and driving on steep inclines will

lead to poor power consumption. In order to avoid those situa-

tions as much as possible, check traffic reports before leaving. If

the vehicle is driven in traffic congestion, gently release the brake

pedal to allow the vehicle to move forward slightly, avoid overuse

of the accelerator pedal. Doing so can help minimize unneces-

sary energy consumption.

● Whenever the EV system is started, 3 different possible driving

ranges will be displayed on the multi-information display. If a dif-

ferent route is used for driving, select an appropriate driving

route by taking into account those estimated possible driving dis-

tances.

■ When braking the vehicle

Make sure to operate the brakes gently and in good time. A greater

amount of electrical energy can be retained when slowing down.

Unlike the conventional vehicles, the energy consumption effi-

ciency of electric vehicles will decline if they continue driving on

highways or at high average speeds, causing the possible driv-

ing distance to reduce. Therefore, if the remaining charge of the

traction battery is low, avoid relying on the displayed possible

driving distance too much as well as driving on highways. Driv-

ing the vehicle at moderate speeds, the traction battery’s energy

consumption can be controlled.

The following driving tips will contribute to reduction in the bat-

tery consumption and increase in the driving range.

1. EV system

■ Use of EV System Indicator

Keeping the EV System Indica-

tor within Eco area or Charge

area can help minimize con-

sumption of the traction battery,

allowing the vehicle to drive in

an Eco-friendly manner.

■ Highway driving

● The 3 different possible driving ranges, displayed by the multi-

information display, are calculation results estimated by 3 differ-

ent calculation methods. For driving in comfort, it will be very

helpful to check the possible driving range for highways before

entering highways.

The chart shown above is for explaining the energy consumption differ-

ence between electric vehicles and gasoline engine vehicles.

Gasoline engine vehicles achieve the best fuel efficiency while they are

driven at a speed of approximately 43 mph (70 km/h). However, electric

vehicles obtain the best energy efficiency while being driven at speeds

between approximately 12 to 25 mph (20 to 40 km/h).

1. EV system

EV system

For electric vehicles, the faster the speed, the more power is consumed,

and the driving range decreases. If driven at a speed of approximately

62 mph (100 km/h), compared to approximately 25 mph (40 km/h), the

vehicle’s energy efficiency drops by approximately 40%. For instance,

an electric vehicle can achieve a driving range of approximately 62

miles (100 km) with a constant vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h), how-

ever, driving at 62 mph (100 km/h) will reduce such a driving range to

approximately 32 miles (60 km).

● Control your speed and keep at a constant speed. Also, before

stopping at a toll booth or similar, allow plenty of time to release

the accelerator and gently apply the brakes. A greater amount of

electrical energy can be retained when slowing down.

■ Air conditioning on/off

● Switch the air conditioning off when it is not needed. Doing so

can help control excessive electricity and power consumption.

In summer:

In high temperatures, use the recirculated air mode. Doing so will

help to reduce the burden on the air conditioning and reduce

power consumption as well.

In winter:

Excessive or unnecessary heating should be avoided. The use of

the seat heater is effective to avoid excessive power consump-

tion.

● For efficiency, use the Remote Climate Control before departing

while the charging cable is connected.

■ Checking tire inflation pressure

Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure frequently. Improper

tire inflation pressure can cause poor power consumption.

Also, as snow tires can cause large amounts of friction, their use on

dry roads will lead to poor power consumption. Use tires that are

appropriate for the season.

■ Luggage

Carrying heavy luggage can require excessive energy. Avoid leav-

ing unnecessary luggage in the vehicle.
