The range of an electric vehicle (EV) battery can vary considerably. At higher speeds (>100 km/h), energy consumption rises significantly. Maintaining a steady driving style can notably extend the range, whereas aggressive acceleration and braking shorten it. Utilizing air conditioning, heating, and in-car devices also decreases the range. Tip: Some EVs feature an eco mode switch that can enhance the vehicle's range.
If necessary, you can charge the EV while on the go. Ensure that the electricity used for charging comes from renewable sources to maintain a positive CO2 balance.
Every EV is equipped with a Shell Recharge charging card, allowing you to charge across Germany and Europe. Additional information about the charging station network is available here, and the Shell Recharge app further simplifies the process.
In the event of a depleted battery causing a standstill, you will be responsible for the charging costs. Under no circumstances should the EV be towed conventionally, as this may result in engine damage. It must be transported by a lorry.
