As winter's chill sets in, electric vehicle (EV) owners are bracing for the impact on their vehicle's range. A new, brutal test by the American Automobile Association (AAA) sheds light on just how much the cold weather can drain an EV's battery. Conducted in temperatures as low as -20°C, the test reveals the devastating effects of winter on EV range, with some models losing up to 41% of their estimated driving distance. With many EV owners already feeling the pinch of rising energy costs, the findings raise concerns about the long-term viability of EVs in colder climates.
