Electric Range​

Many different factors impact range, and any combination of these different factors will influence the range which you achieve on any given day. Most of these factors would equally influence the mpg you would achieve in an internal combustion engine vehicle.

Some of the main factors having an impact on range are: driving style, driving speed, terrain (hills, etc), use of heating & air conditioning, acceleration, load (weight of luggage and passengers carried), temperature, and use of regenerative braking.

What can I do to maximise range?

Range can be maximised in a number of ways, by limiting the impact of the factors detailed above – for example only using heating and air conditioning when needed or not carrying unnecessary load.

However, PEUGEOTs also have a host of features designed to assist you in maximising range:

• Be guided by the indicators on your PEUGEOT: while driving you can easily see whether your vehicle is using a lot of energy, or not – and small adjustments in speed can make a big difference.
• Changing the vehicle into ‘Eco’ mode means that it will prioritise economy over other factors (such as speed) and is therefore the best mode to use if you are looking to maximise range.
• ‘B’ for Braking mode can also be selected on the gearstick, meaning your vehicle will use a higher level of regenerative braking and slow up faster when your foot is off the accelerator. Regenerative braking slows the vehicle while harnessing the kinetic energy back into the battery – thus helping to maximise range.
• Within the MyPeugeot app you can receive personalised eco driving tips, based on your own driving data.
• Within the MyPeugeot app the e-Remote control feature allows you to remotely pre-programme the vehicle’s heating or air-conditioning from your smartphone. So when waking on a hot summer day, you can remotely switch on the air-conditioning, so the car is at an ambient temperature when you get it. So long as the vehicle is on charge, the energy will be taken from the power source, rather than the battery, therefore not impacting your driving range.
