Electric Car Battery Runs Out Fast? This Is The Cause

JAKARTA - Each electric car is equipped with a different battery capacity for each car brand, this capacity provides claims for a distance that now mostly offers more than 400 km.

It is important to understand that for electric car users, there are several causes the battery will run out quickly or not according to the manufacturer's claim.

According to AION Indonesia's Product planning & Strategy Iqbal Taufiqqurahman, the character of electric cars is very influential in the way the driver himself is actually the same as a gasoline car.

"So if it is rushed, it will be depleted faster, just like gasoline and electric cars," he said, when met in the Yogyakarta area some time ago.

In addition, most electric cars have several driving modes, both eco and sport. The use of driving mode can also be one of the causes of the electric car battery draining quickly.

"In sports mode, it is more pronounced and when the speed is high, it will certainly drain significant energy," he added.

In fact, he revealed that based on one research, electricity consumption will be more depleted when using sport mode, it can reach 20-40 percent than eco and normal modes.

"Although returning to the eco mode from sport, the speed to remain high can also be one of the causes and affect the consumption of existing batteries," he explained.

So that battery consumption is not wasteful, he suggests continuing to use the eco mode by paying attention to the speed of the car.

"If sport mode can be used to overtake vehicles such as trucks, the rest is recommended to be eco mode," he concluded.
