Jakarta, August 19, 2024 – Electric vehicles are increasingly becoming a preferred choice for daily activities, whether for city commutes or intercity travel. A wide variety of electric car models offer numerous advantages, from futuristic designs to advanced technology that provides comfort and safety features for driving. However, before you drive, it is essential to prepare your vehicle to ensure an optimal journey in various weather conditions. Here are some tips for electric car drivers to make their trips more comfortable and hassle-free:

1. Check the Battery and Ensure It's Fully Charged

When traveling, you may encounter different road conditions and weather. You might face rain or long traffic jams, so it's crucial to check the battery before departing. It’s recommended to charge it fully or at least up to 80% to minimize the risk of running out of power, especially when the weather or road conditions are less than ideal.

1. Inspect the Tire Condition

Poor weather and road conditions can increase the risk of accidents, particularly if the tires are not in good shape. Regularly check the tire pressure and ensure that the tires have good tread. During the rainy season, make sure the tire surface is adequate to prevent slipping on wet roads.

1. Use the Appropriate Driving Mode

In adverse weather conditions, such as heavy rain or thick fog, it is advisable to use a safer driving mode like eco or comfort mode. These modes reduce acceleration speed and enhance vehicle stability, allowing you to drive more calmly and safely. One feature available on the NETA X, a Medium SUV recently introduced at the 2024 GIIAS event, is the availability of various driving modes that can be adjusted according to road and weather conditions, such as Eco, Sport, or Comfort Mode.

1. Be Prepared for Rainy Weather

Unpredictable weather can affect your comfort and safety while driving. Ensure that your electric vehicle is equipped with features that maximize road safety. For instance, the NETA X offers a Smart Driving system with 9 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) functions, including Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Front Vehicle Start Alert (FSA), Full-Speed Adaptive Cruise (ACC), Traffic Jam Assist (TJA), Integrated Cruise Assist (ICA), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Emergency Lane Keeping System (ELKS), and High Beam Assist (HBA). These features are designed to help drivers navigate various road and weather conditions more safely.

By following these tips, your driving experience will not only be safer and more comfortable but also better equipped to handle all types of road and weather conditions.
