FAQs about the Realistic Range of a New CDJR PHEV

Q: How can the weather affect my CDJR PHEV's electric driving range?

A: Extremely cold temperatures in Falmouth, MA can hamper a PHEV battery's ability to hold a charge. Frigid weather can also negatively impact the vehicle's efficiency. When you use your heater or air conditioner a lot, it saps more power from the battery and can limit the vehicle's electric driving range.

Q: How can the condition of my tires affect my PHEV's driving range?

A: Just as improperly inflated tires can deplete your gas mileage; they can also cut into your PHEV's electric driving range. People in Cape Cod can counter that by keeping their tires aired up properly and by installing tires with low rolling resistance.

Q: Can driving speed impact the electric range of my PHEV?

A: Yes. PHEVs have a lengthier electric driving range when operated at lower speeds in cities such as Plymouth, MA. However, no PHEV quite lives up to its estimated range at highway speeds.
