This \u2064mode regulated the car&#8217;s temperature and\u2063 allowed him to enjoy music, television,\u2062 and lights while conserving\u200d energy from the battery.<\/p>\n<p>One\u2063 major\u200d benefit of\u200d this strategy was\u2062 that\u200d it helped Craig overcome the constant worry of\u2064 &#8220;range anxiety&#8221; \u2013 the fear of \u200drunning out of \u2064battery power.
