#EVs

As everyone who lives in the SFBA knows, it's been really cold around here recently. Cold weather reduces #EVrange by reducing battery efficiency.

I just discovered how much.🤦‍♂️

I drive FAST which reduces the range of my #iD4Pro from it's publicized EPA range of around 250 miles to just 200-210 miles at 100%.

The recent cold weather has further reduced the car's range to only 170 miles. Good thing that I don't drive it much.

The lease on the iD4 Pro expires in July 2026 &, if/when I lease another, I will not lease anything with an EPA range of less than 350, which is a pretty short list. 🤷‍♂️

Broken chargers, full charging stations, single-digit temperatures, and optimistic range estimates have tested our patience.
