Tips to Maximize Winter Range
- Precondition the cabin while still connected to the charger. Heating the cabin from grid power preserves your battery for driving.
- Use the heated seats instead of relying solely on the cabin heater. The Corsa Electric's seat heaters use far less energy and keep you comfortable in most conditions.
- Reduce your speed on highways in winter. Cold air increases aerodynamic drag, and the Corsa Electric's range drops faster at higher speeds in freezing temperatures.
- Charge more frequently in cold weather. Rather than waiting until the battery is low, top up more often to avoid range anxiety when the Corsa Electric's effective range is reduced.
- Park in a garage or sheltered area when possible. A battery that starts warmer holds its charge better and charges more efficiently.
