Improvements to Electric Vehicles Ease Concerns About Range Loss in Cold Climates - Inside Climate News

Summary

Nutrition label

81% Informative

Research has found that freezing temperatures can reduce the average driving range of an electric vehicle anywhere from 25 percent to 41 percent .

Cold weather temporarily reduces the available energy of EV batteries and slows their ability to charge.

Heating the car’s cabin during winter also requires energy from the battery, meaning less fuel for travel.

A recent Plug In America survey of more than 3,000 EV owners found that 70 percent of respondents worried about battery range before buying an electric car.

The survey also ranked owner satisfaction for different EV models, including for the car’s battery range.

The vast majority of the EV owners who remain concerned about range own EVs built before 2020 and live in rural areas.
