As a proud member of the NWOW family, we understand the importance of not only pioneering innovation but also ensuring the safety of our drivers and the community. Here are some crucial safety tips to keep in mind while cruising in your electric vehicle.
Pre-Driving Checking
1. Check the Battery:
Before hitting the road, always ensure your EV's battery is in optimal condition. Regularly check the battery's charge level, and if needed, recharge it to avoid unexpected disruptions during your journey. Familiarize yourself with your vehicle's charging ports and carry necessary cables for emergency charging situations.
2. Examine Tire Pressure:
Sustaining the proper tire pressure is crucial for both effectiveness and safety. Make sure to regularly check the tire pressure on your EV since underinflated tires can negatively impact handling and range. This minor but essential action guarantees a safer and more seamless driving experience.
Safety Driving Etiquette
1. Keep a Safe Distance:
Maintain a safe following distance from the vehicle in front of you. This not only allows for better reaction time but also prevents wear and tear on your EV's braking system. Utilize advanced safety features to help maintain a consistent and safe distance.
2. Avoid Sudden Braking or Acceleration:
Sudden and aggressive movements can impact your EV's efficiency and safety. Smooth acceleration and braking not only conserve energy but also contribute to a more comfortable ride for you and your passengers.
3. Watch Your Acceleration and Speed:
For the protection of all drivers, speed limit observance is essential. Be careful as you accelerate as well, particularly in congested areas. Smoother driving is one benefit of gradual acceleration, in addition to improved energy conservation.
4. Pay Attention to the Surroundings:
EVs are known for their quiet operation, which can catch pedestrians and cyclists off guard. Stay vigilant, use your mirrors effectively, and be mindful of your surroundings to avoid unexpected obstacles.
5. Maintain Your Focus on the Road:
Distractions can be hazardous, particularly when operating an electric vehicle. Remain aware of the road ahead and refrain from utilizing a handheld device while operating a vehicle. Your full attention is necessary for both your safety and the safety of others.
6. Put on Safety Gear:
When operating an electric vehicle, never forget to wear safety gear, such as a helmet. It will increase your sense of security and self-assurance when traveling.
7. Drive Efficiently:
Efficient driving not only conserves energy but also maximizes your EV's range. Plan your routes, and avoid unnecessary detours to help conserve your electric vehicle and its battery.
Post Driving
1. Maintain the Electric Vehicle Regularly:
Regular maintenance is key to ensuring your EV's longevity and performance. Schedule routine check-ups, including battery health assessments, tire rotations, and others. Following the guidelines will keep your EV running smoothly and safely for years to come.
At NWOW, we believe that driving an electric vehicle should not only be eco-friendly but also a safe and enjoyable experience. By incorporating these safety tips into your driving routine, you contribute to a greener, and safer future, one electric mile at a time. Have safe travels, NWOW Fam!
