Electric vehicle range significantly decreases in cold weather due to battery chemistry limitations and increased energy consumption for cabin heating. Owners often report reductions of 15-25％ in expected range during winter months. Cold temperatures slow chemical reactions within lithium-ion cells, reducing efficiency, and activating heating systems draws additional power. Preconditioning the vehicle and charging to optimal levels before use can help mitigate these effects. Forums, social media groups, and EV blogs frequently discuss strategies for winter driving, including using thermal management features, monitoring energy consumption, and planning routes with charging points. Educating users about cold-weather range performance is critical, as it sets realistic expectations and ensures safety during winter driving. Highlighting this issue attracts readers seeking practical guidance on EV performance under environmental challenges.
