"Chilling Challenges: How Winter Weather Affects Electric Vehicle Range"

TL;DR Summary
Cold weather can significantly reduce the driving range of electric vehicles due to decreased battery efficiency and increased power consumption for heating. This has led to frustrations for EV drivers, particularly in areas with limited charging infrastructure. The use of heat pumps and pre-conditioning can help mitigate the impact of cold weather on battery range, but the issue highlights the need for continued development of charging infrastructure and battery technology to support the growing number of electric vehicles on the road.
