Eco-Friendly Electric Vehicles From Nissan

It’s not your imagination that is seeing more EVs on the road today. More drivers in the Baltimore area are choosing electric vehicles for their quiet electric motors, instant torque, long range, and affordable price tags. If you’re considering an EV, you don’t have to buy the highest-range electric vehicle because it’s easier than ever before to maximize any EV battery range.

Drivers from Rosedale to Dundalk turn to the EV experts at Bob Bell Nissan for knowledgeable information about battery charging and maximum range.

Why Choose an Electric Vehicle

Electric vehicles deliver several benefits over gas-powered cars. The newest EVs, like the Nissan ARIYA, have large battery packs that provide over 250 miles of range. The newest battery technology and upgraded public battery charging infrastructure have reduced range anxiety. EVs are no longer confined to short drives, as big batteries and fast-charging stations support long-distance road trips.

EVs require less maintenance than ICE vehicles, simply because EVS have fewer parts that need maintenance and repairs. It’s easier than ever before to purchase and install a Level 2 EV charger, so charging at home is convenient and affordable.

Maximizing Your EV’s Range

Maximizing your EV’s range comes down to knowing how your EV works. Most electric vehicles have drive modes, and they affect the way your EV uses its battery and motor. For example, the Nissan ARIYA has a Sport mode that increases torque and horsepower using more of the EV battery. If you leave your vehicle in Sport mode, you’ll have to charge more often. On the flip side, if you use Eco mode, your ARIYA will use less battery power.

You can maximize your battery range by using regenerative braking which slows the vehicle and sends energy to the battery. When you’re driving in the city, regenerative braking can extend your miles per kilowatt hour – thus maximizing your battery’s driving range.

Most EVs use more battery power to run heaters and air conditioners. Turning off the HVAC components will add a few more miles of range.

Remember that where and when you drive will affect your battery range. Cold weather and highway driving reduce range, while warm weather and city driving will increase it. If you are looking for the Nissan ARIYA with the most range, the ARIYA Venture+ has an 87.0-kWh battery pack, a single motor with front-wheel drive, and an EPA-estimated 304 miles of electric driving range.
