With the rise of plug-in electric vehicles, people are beginning to think more critically about driving. Not just about whether or not an electric vehicle will suit their needs, but how efficiently they're driving. There's no denying that we could all do with better efficiency on the road, even with gas prices as low as we are. Luckily, Ford recognizes that, which is why it's produced this handy video to help drivers get more mileage out of their electric vehicle. Even better, some of these tips will even help drivers of conventional gasoline-powered vehicles get more out of their cars. Check out the vide below to find out how!
Now, we want to stress that the first tip in this video is perhaps the most important, not only to efficient driving, but also safe driving. Properly inflated tires help your Ford vehicle maximize its fuel economy, because the engine won't have to expend extra power to get them moving, as compared to under-inflated tires. In addition, both under and over-inflated tires are at increased risk of a blowout, making them more dangerous to drive on than properly inflated tires.
By following the tips in this video, you can enjoy the full range of your Ford plug-in and electric vehicle, and have a safe smooth ride every time. Luckily, many new Ford electric and plug-in hybrid models come with the efficiency leaves display, which helps you visualize how efficiently you're driving on the road.
