As we enter summer, we all want to stay cool with air conditioning, especially those of us who drive new energy vehicles. When we encounter traffic in hot weather, we worry that turning on the AC will decrease our battery life.
Without air conditioning, it’s like walking in an oily barbeque – the scorching heat makes it impossible to go without air conditioning. For new energy vehicle drivers, there is always anxiety about using air conditioning and affecting battery life.
Usually, the air conditioning system consumes between 1-3 kWh of electricity per hour, averaging at 2 kWh. Assuming it is used for eight hours a day, it consumes 16 kWh of electricity, and most of the energy is used for air conditioning, which significantly reduces the driving range.
So how can we quickly cool down and save energy? Today, we’d like to share some tips related to air conditioning:
01: Don’t turn on the air conditioning immediately
Lowering the temperature and increasing the wind speed of the air conditioning right away won’t effectively cool down the car. You’ll only feel a slight chill at the air outlet. First, open the car window, set the wind speed to level 3, and use the outside air circulation mode to blow out the hot air inside the car. After 2-3 minutes, close the window and turn on the air conditioning.
02: Adjust the air outlet upward for the best cooling effect
The direction of the air outlet affects the cooling efficiency of the air conditioning. According to the principle that cold air sinks and hot air rises, adjusting the air outlet upward in cooling mode can achieve the best cooling effect.
03: Don’t set the temperature too low for too long
Even in extremely hot weather, it’s best not to set the air conditioning temperature to the lowest level for too long. The significant temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle can cause a cold or even air conditioning sickness. Setting the temperature to a comfortable level for the body, around 26°C, can save energy and improve driving range.
