Is there a way to optimize the range?

Yes. Like fuel efficiency with gas engines, your speed and the use of electrical features within the car that rely on battery power, such as air conditioning or heated seats, may affect the vehicle’s range. Reducing the energy consumption of the vehicle will increase the range.
To maximize driving range, consider these steps:

• - Pre-heating or pre-cooling your vehicle’s cabin via the MyMazda App while charging.²
• - Parking in a garage to minimize the effects from extreme weather.
• - Drive efficiently by avoiding heavy acceleration and high speeds, which can drain the battery faster.
• - Check your tire pressure often from within the vehicle via the tire pressure sensor; underinflated tires can negatively impact range.
   

How does temperature affect Mazda electrified vehicles’ driving range?

Lithium-ion batteries prefer an ideal temperature of 77-95° F (25-35° C). If the battery is too cold, range, charging times and performance can decline. Range is less affected by hot weather, but the battery can degrade more quickly and charge more slowly.

What if I need to drive a longer distance and have range anxiety?

Why does my dash say I have one mile of range when my battery is 50% charged?

Weather conditions can often impact your battery charge. If your battery temperature drops below a certain temperature, your CX-90 PHEV will transition to using the vehicle's engine.
