Study: Winter & Cold Weather #EV #RangeLoss in 10,000+ Cars https://www.recurrentauto.com/research/winter-ev-range-loss β€œAll cars lose efficiency in the cold weather. However, drivers only really worry about it when it comes to electric cars, since the lower efficiency translates directly to lower range. For EV owners in colder climates, like northern portions of the United States and #Canada, daily driving and charging behaviors must be adjusted in #winter months. (1/2)
Best EV for Winter & Cold Weather Range

All vehicles lose efficiency and range in very cold weather. Electric cars are no different. The good news, however, is that this range loss is temporary and not as limiting as many people may think.
