Genuine question- have you found winter temps to be much of an issue in terms of range loss?

- mgbmtl 6y agoThere is loss, around 10%. One way to reduce it is to pre-heat the car while charging. Heat pumps in EVs are efficient/fast, and less annoying than waiting forever for a gas car to defrost. There is also the additional friction from winter tires, and in summer drag from a bike rack. A bit similar to gas consumption, but does require planning stops on long trips.
- Baeocystin 6y agoThanks for the reply. That's actually less loss than I would have guessed,I appreciate the info.
