For electric vehicles (evs), efficient driving also.

It is about becoming a better driver, rather than sacrificing the performance or enjoyment of driving.

Accelerate gently, avoiding rapid or heavy acceleration, which can consume more fuel.

This means adopting a driving technique that minimizes the amount of accelerating and heavy braking you have to do.

Studies have shown that varying your speed between 75 and 85 km per hour every 18 seconds can increase your fuel consumption by 20%.

Maintain a constant speed.

If it's a short drive, you may walk or use public transport, but if it's a longer one you'll pull out all the fuel saving techniques we've listed above.

You can drive your fossil fuel powered vehicle more efficiently to save fuel, money and reduce carbon pollution.

When you slow down and speed up, you consume more fuel and spend more money than necessary.

The simplest method to see an electric vehicle's efficiency is to work out the miles per kwh (the equivalent of miles per gallon).

Essentially, if you're a 'hypermiler' you will always seek fuel saving ways of reaching your destination.

In an ev, efficiency affects how far you can travel on a full charge.

Learn how to optimize your driving habits, avoid aggressive acceleration, maintain a steady speed, and minimize idle time for maximum fuel efficiency.

Efficient driving is a driving style that reduces fuel bills, cuts carbon emissions and lowers accident rates.

When you do, you’ll be sure to watch your savings add up!
