Electrifyingly Swift and Smooth…for Many Miles Ahead

Are you thinking of getting the upcoming Maserati GranTurismo EV and wondering how to maximize the range of an electric Maserati vehicle? After all, it’s only natural to want to drive a sports car as interruption-free as possible when you find so much exhilaration behind the wheel. Thankfully, we’re here with our guide to maximizing the Maserati electric car range. Also, stick with us at Livermore Maserati near Berkeley, CA, for updates on the first ever all-electric Maserati, the Maserati GranTurismo Folgore, which is slated for release in the autumn of 2023.

Getting the Habits Right: Maximize Your EV Range

There’s plenty of excitement to find inside your electric vehicle—so, help keep your recharges to a minimum by managing your climate controls—specifically, in the winter months, pre-heat your ride while it’s charging, which helps reduce the strain of warming your cabin when you’re on the road. When no longer needed, shut off your heat (or AC in the summer), and rely on the climate-controlled seats and steering wheel if possible, as these options consume much less power than your general climate system.

Also, when it’s cold outside, park in a garage when possible. After all, helping your battery avoid excess exposure to extreme temperatures helps prolong its charges, assisting in boosting your overall range. Also, check your tire pressure, as low tires force your vehicle to use more energy when propelling you forward—plus, you’ll get a more responsive and safe cruise when your tires are topped to the correct PSI level.

Managing Your Drive: How to Optimize Your Charge on the Go

When you’re behind the wheel, consider switching to ECO mode when you’re in a situation where you can’t enjoy the track-geared speeds of your car—i.e. residential areas or stop-and-go rush hour traffic. Also, when you don’t need to slam your accelerator to the floor, consider smoothly and gradually accelerating, as this method requires far less energy when compared to a rapid blast off that could drain your battery if performed recklessly and often. Also, consider driving under 60 mph if possible, as the Department of Energy estimates you’ll spend 14% less energy for reducing your speed by 10 mph.

Regardless of the speed you intend to drive, try to remove excess weight—specifically, pull your golf clubs out after you get home from the links and remove all groceries, luggage, and cargo that’s not needed since extra weight requires your car to spend more energy to get you moving, which leads to more frequent recharge station stops.
