What a terrible graph.
They should have normalized everything as reduction relative to their actual warm-weather range, not relative to 100% of the EPA stated range.
Alternatively, they could have discounted the warm weather range to the 100% EPA number.
As is, it's a mess. The point of the article is that cold weather reduces range, and an explanatory graph should support that directly.
- kylecordes 5y agoI haven't even bothered to read the article because the terrible graph suggests the author has an axe to grind rather than insight to provide. Further, the data shown in the graph most likely reflects differences in how each car was measured, estimated, or marketed. I would love to see a better article somewhere else, where the same range testing is applied to 10 different EVs in the same weather conditions. How far does each of these cars actually go when it is cold and miserable? How far does each go when the weather is perfect? Then put that on the graph.
