Spring EV econo driving mode

[EikenDowell]

Hey everyone, I just got my new Spring and I'm loving the EV life so far! I'm a complete newbie here, so I have a question about the "Econo Mode." How does an electric car work differently than ICE cars?? Does it have a significant effect on driving performance? It appears to be a way to save battery power, but is it really worth using in an EV? Thanks!

It's just the same function as the one in ICE cars. On long highway stretches, it can be worth it. No need to use it if you're just city driving.

I don't recommend using it. While it might promise some "savings", they're likely to be minimal. More importantly, it could actually cause you to get in an accident. Getting used to a delayed response can make it difficult to react quickly in an emergency situation.

Gents, you are right. You can really feel the difference between the two, and I hate the feeling when in econo. Thanks guys!

My brother just got his Spring and he didn't know what is this Econo Mode. I will let him know about it now. Thanks!
