"Extreme Weather Takes a Toll on Electric and Hybrid Vehicles: AAA Study Reveals Alarming Range Reduction. A recent study by the American Automobile Association (AAA) has found that extreme weather conditions can significantly reduce the range of electric and hybrid vehicles. According to the research, temperatures above 100°F (38°C) can cut the range of EVs by up to 17% and hybrid vehicles by up to 12%. Meanwhile, temperatures below 0°F (-18°C) can decrease the range of EVs by as much as 41% and hybrid vehicles by up to 35%. As the world grapples with the challenges of climate change, this study highlights the need for car manufacturers to develop more efficient and resilient electric and hybrid vehicles that can withstand the harshest of weather conditions."
