First luxury challenge in the battery-powered segment<\/p>\n
All electric vehicle driving ranges shrink in cold weather.<\/p>\n
But some keep more of it than others.<\/p>\n
Low temperatures increase the resistance inside batteries, which reduces their performance.<\/p>\n
The effect varies widely from vehicle to vehicle and doesn’t necessarily change in lockstep with falling temperatures, so it’s tough to pin down.<\/p>\n
ELECTRIC RIVIAN PICKUP CRASH TESTED. HOW DID IT DO?<\/p>\n

\n The Jaguar I-Pace was the brand’s first EV.
\n (Jaguar)<\/p>\n
Online battery health reporting company Recurrent gave it a shot by collecting data from EV owners and onboard vehicle systems to estimate how much range is lost between 70 degrees and freezing.<\/p>\n
Of the 13 vehicles studied, the Jaguar I-Pace performed the best, losing just 3% of its 234-mile range in cold weather.<\/p>\n
The Audi e-tron Premium Plus was second with an 8% drop, which is particularly good for its owners because the model looked at had a range of just 204 miles on a full charge. New models have longer ranges.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n The Bolt EV has a range of 259 miles per charge.
\n (Chevrolet)<\/p>\n
Both models benefited from using an efficient heat pump for their climate control systems, which redistributes heat being generated by the powertrain.<\/p>\n
At the low end was the Chevrolet Bolt with a 32% drop, which was slightly outdone by the Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium AWD with Extended Range battery and the VW ID.4, both at 30%.<\/p>\n

The Tesla Model 3, Y, S and X all ranked mid-pack between 13% and 19%, some of the cars included also relying on the heat pump technology.<\/p>\n

\n Tesla’s can be pre-conditioned while they are plugged in.
\n (Tesla)<\/p>\n
Recurrent lists several ways to improve an EV’s cold-weather performance. Key among them is utilizing the preconditioning feature when available, which typically draws on the home power to keep the battery warm while it’s still plugged in.<\/p>\n

Drivers are also advised to rely more on the heated seats and steering wheel than the cabin climate control.<\/p>\n

\n The Ford F-150 Lightning electric pickup can go 230 to 320 miles per charge, depending on the model.
\n (Ford)<\/p>\n
Ford recently shared similar tips, adding a reminder to remove snow from the vehicle, which can create aerodynamic drag, and keeping the tires at the proper pressure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
