2022 Land Rover Range Rover Velar My Electric Vehicle (EV)
MY ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV)
- Do not adjust the touchscreen controls, or allow the system to distract the driver, while the vehicle is moving.
- Driver distraction can lead to accidents, potentially causing serious injury or death.
- The My Electric Vehicle (My EV) extra feature displays information for the operation of the hybrid system.
- The My EV screen display also allows manual selection of the energy save function. See SAVE.
- Select My EV from the touchscreen’s EXTRA FEATURES menu. See EXTRA FEATURES.
The My EV menu screen also displays the following information:
- The hybrid system energy flow is dynamically represented via a vehicle image. The operation of the hybrid system is graphically displayed during driving. The active components and the energy flow between them are highlighted.
- The current total driving range for the vehicle.
- The current driving range for the electric motor.
- Swipe the My EV menu screen to access the CHARGING screen, to display information for the current charging status of the hybrid battery.
- Select the Timed charging soft key to view and change a current timed charging event. See TIMED CHARGING.
- Select the Charge now soft key to override a timed charging event.
SAVE
- Selecting the energy save function holds the current charge level in the hybrid battery.
- Minor variations in charge level may occur.
- The driver determines when to use the saved battery charge level by deselecting the energy function, e.g., driving in urban areas. See MY ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV).
- Touch the SAVE soft key to enable the energy-save function.
- The instrument panel displays the SAVE message to confirm the selection.
- See INSTRUMENT PANEL: HYBRID VEHICLES.
- Touch the SAVE soft key again to disable the energy save function.
- The instrument panel extinguishes the SAVE message to confirm deselection.
- Manually selecting the Electric Vehicle (EV) hybrid mode, exits the energy save function.
- If required, the energy save function has to be selected again. See ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV) MODE
PREDICTIVE ENERGY OPTIMIZATION
The predictive energy optimization feature uses the current route information from the vehicle’s navigation system to enhance the hybrid system operation. The use of the stored hybrid battery charge is balanced across the route, to help improve the potential fuel economy. For example, electric motor use is maximized during the low-speed sections of the route.
Automatic operation of the predictive energy optimization feature occurs when:
- The route for the current journey is entered into the vehicle’s navigation system. See ADDRESS ENTRY.
- Either the ECO or the comfort driving program is enabled. See TERRAIN RESPONSE OPERATION.
NOTES
The predictive energy optimization feature also operates if the AUTO driving program is enabled and the vehicle detects on-road driving.
The My EV menu screen displays a green light ahead of the vehicle image when the predictive energy optimization feature is available. See MY ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV).
The predictive energy optimization feature is suspended in the following events:
- Insufficient hybrid battery charge.
- The transmission is engaged in Sport (S).
- Gear changes via the steering wheel gearshift paddles.
- The vehicle detects off-road driving.
