Winter is coming! How do electric cars survive the cold weather?

It is said that this winter will be the coldest one, how to survive the winter for the new energy vehicle owners?

[Economic mode] First of all, you need to activate the economy mode of the Zeekr 001. It’s needless to say that the power recovery is increased, the power output is more linear, and the car will help you control the acceleration under this mode.

[Driving habits] Of course, you should pay attention to keep a safe distance from the car in front of you, and release the throttle in advance when encountering a roadblock or a red light. Make use of the power recovery to slow down and avoid sudden braking or acceleration. Changing driving habits in winter not only saves range, but also enhances driving safety on rainy and snowy days.

[Energy recovery] Secondly, after my trial, moderate energy recovery actually saves more power than high gear, because it increases the vehicle sliding time, and the moderate energy recovery will have better energy consumption performance. Of course, energy recovery depends on the brand and personal preference, and it does need adaptation.

Some car owners may also say at this point, “We want to demonstrate the ultimate performance of Zeekr 001, the electricity is worth only a few pennies even in winter!” Then why not directly enter the sports mode! ![](https://upload.42how.com/article/f867Rn01671076947727.jpeg)
