Frequently Asked Questions

How much does cold weather reduce EV range?

Cold weather can reduce EV range by 20-40%. At 20°F (-7°C), expect about 30% range loss due to battery chemistry, cabin heating, and increased tire rolling resistance. Using seat heaters instead of cabin heat helps minimize the impact.

Does highway speed affect EV range?

Yes, significantly. EVs are most efficient at 25-45 mph. At 75 mph, range can drop by 20-25% compared to city driving. This is due to exponentially increasing aerodynamic drag at higher speeds.

How do I maximize my EV range?

Drive at moderate speeds (55-65 mph on highways), use seat heaters instead of cabin heat in winter, precondition the car while plugged in, maintain proper tire pressure, use eco driving mode, and minimize cargo weight.
