"Maximizing Electric Vehicle Performance in Cold Weather"

Frigid temperatures are causing challenges for electric vehicle (EV) owners, as cold weather can significantly impact battery efficiency and driving range. The chemical reactions within EV batteries slow down in cold temperatures, reducing storage and available power, while warming the cabin also drains energy from the battery. To mitigate these issues, EV owners are advised to precondition their vehicles, warm them while plugged in, and consider adding a heat pump to maintain efficiency in cold weather.
