Running silently, without any distracting vibrations or gear-shifting, electric vehicles naturally encourage you to adopt a smoother driving style. It’s a way to be more relaxed on the road, respect other drivers and the environment, all while saving money!
Smooth driving and eco-driving
Smooth driving and eco-driving have a lot in common. Anticipating braking and accelerating gently both help save energy. Eco-driving requires a bit more attention when it comes to vehicle maintenance, such as keeping an eye on tire pressure and the vehicle’s weight limit and making moderate use of air conditioning.
Electric vehicles naturally incite drivers to embrace a smooth, relaxed seamlessly driving style. This serene approach is beneficial for both drivers’ well-being and their wallets, as it limits consumption and wear and tear on the vehicle.
What is smooth driving?
Smooth driving consists of moderate acceleration, following the rules of the road, and anticipated braking. It can take some skill to achieve in a conventional car with a manual transmission. But with gearless electric vehicles, which deliver immediate torque and accelerate without sound or vibration, it’s only natural to adopt a smooth style of driving.
