Electric commercial vehicles are the future, and it’s no surprise that more and more businesses are making the switch to electric driving. An electric motor delivers its maximum torque instantly from 0 revolutions per minute. This rapid acceleration, while advantageous in some respects, can negatively impact the vehicle’s range, as well as factors like cargo safety, tire lifespan, and drivetrain longevity. We will explain how you can extend the range of your electric commercial vehicle while benefiting from other advantages.
Optimize the Range of Your Electric Commercial Vehicle
For many businesses, being able to drive as far as possible with an electric commercial vehicle is crucial. The range determines how far you can drive on a single charge without needing to recharge. This range depends on several factors, but one area where improvements can be made is the vehicle’s energy consumption. This is heavily influenced by the driver’s behavior, meaning how efficiently the vehicle is driven.
Reduce the Energy Consumption of Your Commercial Vehicle
The energy consumption of your commercial vehicle is primarily determined by the maximum speed at which it is driven. The faster you drive, the shorter the range. By moderating acceleration and implementing a maximum speed limit, you can delay the need for recharging and extend the range. Additionally, by accelerating moderately, you also place less demand on the battery. Electric vehicles accelerate rapidly due to their high torque, but this can have a significant impact on their range.
Safety and Quality Aspects
Electric commercial vehicles are often used by delivery services, courier companies, and meal delivery services, and they are frequently operated by young drivers. Ensuring that the cargo arrives undamaged and avoiding accidents are top priorities. The high acceleration capabilities of electric vehicles can encourage undesirable driving behavior. By limiting acceleration (power), you can easily prevent this.
