Correlation between VSP (power requirements in W/Kg) and “VSP mode.”
| Vehicle specific power VSP (W/kg) | VSP mode | Driving and road conditions |
| <−2 | 1 | Negative slope, no acceleration | [−2, 0) | 2 |
| [0, 1) | 3 | Low acceleration for increasing speed smoothly | [1, 4) | 4 |
| [4, 7) | 5 | Rapid accelerations to reach higher speed | [7, 10) | 6 | [10, 13) | 7 | [13, 16) | 8 | [16, 19) | 9 | [19, 23) | 10 | [23, 28) | 11 |
