I share your opinion. Everything <60 kWh has no real winter range. 60 kWh battery brings me 150 miles in winter (Autobahn in Germany, not saving energy) since the regular battery shouldn’t be charged to 100% and discharged bellow 10%. That’s 2 days of commuting without charging for me.
- Tagbert 3y agoI believe that is one of the benefit of the LFP chemistry that it is not harmed by sustained charges to 100%. That should help offset the range downside sometimes listed for LFP batteries.
- uxp100 3y agoHowever, IIRC it has other problems in cold weather. With charging, I think? I know I’ve seen reports that regenerative braking is essentially completely disabled while the LFP batteries are cold.
- Turskarama 3y agoBut if you charge every day (at home) you still wouldn't ever need to supercharge, so it's still enough range for 95% of driving.
- idontwantthis 3y agoI think if it cost less than $20k new it would be the perfect second car.
