The batteries are designed to function properly at all normal temperatures during the year. By exposing the car to very hot temperatures for a very long period of time, the range may be reduced, as the energy will be used to cool the batteries. Similarly, in case of very low temperatures, the autonomy will be reduced because the energy will be used to heat the batteries. The batteries will be exposed to temperatures as low as -40 ° C.

The vehicle will recharge while driving or by plugging it into an external power outlet.

Both vehicles will charge the battery by:
1- Regenerative braking: electric cars will use regenerative braking, which converts the car's kinetic energy into electrical energy and uses it to charge the battery, rather than wasting it as thermal energy like brakes in conventional ICE.
Electric motors will consume energy to provide movement. When this movement is no longer required (for example when slowing down), the braking force can be used to reverse the action of the motor and generate electricity. The process is known as regenerative braking, and the electricity generated can be sent to the battery. Under the right conditions, the range of an electric car can be extended by more than 10% thanks to the collection of regenerated electricity.

Plug in your Jeep and recharge the battery regularly and frequently, it will increase performance and efficiency! This is the key factor in taking advantage of the advantages of a PHEV vehicle and getting closer to the optimal result.

The Hybrid mode is designed to operate the system efficiently by optimizing power and minimizing fuel consumption - mainly use this mode to maximize fuel economy.
The Electric can be selected when you want to avoid the activation of the petrol engine (as in city centres or ZTL), taking advantage of the fully electric driving experience.
The E-Save must be used essentially to preserve or increase the battery charge for later use (for example in the event that the customer has to enter a ZTL): in fact, to generate extra electricity, the petrol engine is used while the vehicle is running, increasing fuel consumption.
Remember: charging the vehicle by plugging it in is the best way to save money!

Balance Boost and Efficiency: The electric motor is also a performance accelerator. Using the car with a dynamic driving style will give you incredible emotions thanks to the electric propulsion: however, remember that the electric range displayed will be adjusted accordingly in real time after the first few kilometers.
Complete a complete warm-up of the engine petrol (at least 30 minutes of extra-urban driving) at least once a month to optimize the efficiency of the petrol engine.

Correct driving is the key to maximizing efficiency:
Smooth acceleration and gentle use of braking, combined with the activation of the E-coasting button, help to optimize range and fuel economy.
