Maximize energy efficiency: Our tips for tuning electric cars! Buying and using one Electric Cars can be a way to save energy and costs. Whether you're leasing your electric car, buying it, or just looking to get the best performance out of your current model, there are a number of ways to improve energy use and driving range. EV tuning is becoming increasingly important as many EV users focus on the most economical power mode and the quietest possible operation. To help you get the most out of your car, we've put together some electric car tuning tips that will help maximize energy efficiency.
the electric car tuning
- Implement efficient charging management
- Carry out a load optimization
- increase the battery power
- Optimize the engine and transmission
- Invest in aerodynamic accessories
Owning an electric car is an investment in the future for many (not for us). According to the manufacturer, with an electric car you can not only reduce your ecological footprint, but also supposedly lower your energy costs. However, we leave these statements undecided. To make your vehicle even more energy efficient, you can tune it. You can use the following tips to make your electric car even more energy-efficient. By the way, popular vehicles are the Honda-e, the Kia e-Niro, the Tesla Model 3, the Tesla Model S and the Porsche Taycan.
First, implement efficient charging management. A good charging strategy is the key to reducing the energy consumption of the electric car. Try to charge the e-car at the cheapest hours and make sure it doesn't use more energy than absolutely necessary. Second, do load optimization. This means that you can set charging times to precisely match your daily driving needs. Third, increase battery power if possible. With a better battery, you can reduce energy consumption and charging times. Fourth, optimize the engine.
Chip tuning of the electric motor
A chip tuning of the electric motor (if available for the vehicle model) can help reduce energy consumption with the same driving style. And finally, invest in aerodynamic accessories. Improved airflow is key to reducing the car's energy consumption. With aerodynamic accessories, you can significantly reduce air resistance and, with the same driving style, increase the range. One of the key factors when tuning an electric car is energy efficiency. However, a sophisticated planning and optimization program is necessary for the optimal performance boost.
further options and information:
- In general, all e-cars are suitable for tuning (Tesla, Porsche, Honda, Kia, VW, Opel etc.)
- Tuning in terms of efficiency is (still) of little interest
- As with the combustion engine, chip tuning is also popular with e-cars
- "Over-The-Air-Updates" (OTA for short) are currently a problem, since the changed software is overwritten again (update-safe programs are still in development)
- lowering (Components are available from H&R, KW suspensions, Bilstein, ÖHLINS etc.) is popular and easy to implement due to the already low center of gravity
– lowering springs
– Air ride
- sports suspension
– Coilover suspension
– Coupling rods - Brake upgrades are also popular using sports brake discs or multi-piston brake systems
- Sound tuning using sound files is currently unpopular and hardly in demand
- Different sounds can still be set/played (depending on the vehicle type) - the guarantee or warranty for the converted or directly affected components usually expires
- Some tuners offer additional insurance - many conversion measures comply with the rules and are approved according to StVZO, but many are also illegal
Of course, that wasn't the end of it!
