Follow the 20/80 Charging Rule

[{"selector":"#anim-2096fbd3-23f0-4235-8c69-0bb4563f76fa","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dae067c9-76dc-427a-a76f-5a5abb4af707","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2630afeb-ff76-4479-ac07-6ac391ccf1f0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-598f7a4f-fcb0-4e39-95ef-a2966538bb02","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -159.45317%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] During the summer, avoid deep discharge of your EV's battery. Charge your EV when it reaches 20% and unplug it when the battery level hits 80%.

Precondition Your EV

[{"selector":"#anim-8d765c33-7ae6-4d87-ada6-586a81dbd237","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4956e47a-62a5-4195-ad75-964f15f36ead","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f4aa084a-c886-4cfa-998f-947fe3398de8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ccfd887c-50f3-45ce-8396-0271698c9f04","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -165.99767%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Preconditioning your EV can help save battery energy by adjusting the vehicle's interior temperature to an optimum level.

Use AC Charging Whenever Possible

[{"selector":"#anim-ff665171-2778-48b7-8828-2c6f26313dab","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e021dd5c-41c1-4a13-b6d1-54babb479644","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-83d47957-ce32-4993-97ed-31b4d493123d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2b152160-62b1-49f5-b1d4-7d0c37a310e6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -163.37987%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] AC (Alternating Current) charging is gentler on the battery pack, so it's preferable whenever available.

Avoid Excessive Acceleration
