Getting more out of a charge

Six habits that matter more in Nepal than they would on flat ground at sea level.

Use maximum regen on descents

Nepal's mountain roads give back a lot of energy on the way down. Set regenerative braking to its strongest mode before a descent.

Precondition the battery in winter

In Kathmandu between December and February, warming the battery while still plugged in recovers 8 to 10% of range on a long trip.

Go easy on AC in the Terai

Running air conditioning flat out in Chitwan or the Terai summer costs 8 to 12% of range. Eco mode and shade parking both help.

Hold 50 to 80 km/h on highways

Range falls away sharply above 80 km/h. On the Prithvi Highway, 70 to 80 km/h is the efficient cruising band.

Charge to 80% for daily driving

Keeping the daily charge ceiling at 80% extends pack life. Save the full 100% charge for long highway runs.

Plan the CCS2 stops before you leave

Mugling, Damauli and Naubise are the useful stops on the Kathmandu to Pokhara corridor.
