Electric Car Battery Performance Impacted by Cold Temperatures: What Owners Need to Know

2024-01-19 18:04:00

It was -4 degrees this morning in Paris, too cold for electric car batteries. With the negative temperatures of recent days, owners have noticed a significant loss of autonomy. Flavius, owner of a Zoé, speaks of a loss of 15 to 20%. A figure which can rise up to 50% according to a study carried out by the European Green NCAP consortium.

“Instead of doing 350 kilometers, I do 200,” notes Florian, owner of a Tesla. “She doesn’t like the cold at all! » he remarks.

Same observation across the Atlantic. In Chicago, where temperatures dropped as low as -30 degrees this week, many Teslas were abandoned at charging stations. Due to the cold, they might no longer recharge.
