This can be useful for new owners of electric cars who are not used to driving an EV. In addition, the Chill mode is useful in the transportation of older people, children or fragile goods. Of course, the standard acceleration mode is there too.

The Easy Entry mode, in turn, is designed to improve the comfort of getting in and out of the car.
