A Guide to Efficient Mudik Travel with Electric Vehicles: When Should You Charge?

Tangerang — Mudik (homecoming) travel with electric vehicles is becoming increasingly popular as the range of electric vehicles available in the market expands and the charging infrastructure network widens.

Nevertheless, users still need to understand driving strategies and battery charging procedures to ensure that long-distance journeys remain safe and comfortable.

According to Bayu, this approach is particularly important during mudik travel, which typically involves long distances and heavy traffic congestion.

By monitoring remaining battery capacity from the outset, drivers can plan charging locations more carefully.

Additionally, users are advised to utilise navigation applications or electric vehicle charging station (SPKLU) provider apps to identify charging points along their travel route. In this way, drivers can determine the most efficient stopping points without having to deviate significantly from their planned route.

Bayu also reminds drivers to operate their vehicles efficiently to maintain optimal energy consumption.

With proper preparation, electric vehicles are considered reliable for long-distance mudik travel, whilst also providing a quieter and more efficient driving experience.
