Winter & Cold Weather EV Range 10,000+ Cars

All vehicles lose efficiency and range in very cold weather. Electric cars are no different. The good news, however, is that this range loss is temporary and not as limiting as many people may think.

    I got totally boned in Wyoming. I had a tesla and went to the charger in Cheyenne and those fuckers had shut it down but it was still on the map.

      Yup, left Fort Collins, CO up I 25 through Cheyenne, same bullshit at a Wal-Mart Ev-Go off I 80.

      I’ve come to the conclusion that WY Govt hates EVs altogether.

    Funny to run into this today. Coldest temps of the year and the gauge on my LEAF was showing 26 fewer miles at 100%, which was expected. But a 3 mile drive took 12 miles and 10% off the range.

    In this weather and at that discharge rate, it’s cheaper to drive a traditional engine.
