Battery Charge Levels: Regular and complete battery charging is vital. Fill charging helps maximise the car's ability to drive in zero-emission electric mode, saving energy from the petrol tank. Monitoring battery status and charging frequently optimises the synergy between both power sources.
Vehicle Loading: A heavier passenger and cargo load implies a more significant energy requirement to accelerate or climb gradients. Removing unnecessary weight lowers the car's power and range demands. Travelling light reduces the burden on both the battery and the engine.
