Two electric vehicles were subjected to identical freezing conditions, revealing stark differences in their performance. While one model retained 89% of its range after prolonged exposure to cold, the other lost nearly a third, dropping to just 63%. The study highlighted the critical role of the heat pump system in maintaining efficiency during extreme cold. Results suggest significant variations in how EVs handle winter driving, with potential implications for real-world usability.
