Electric vehicles experience a noticeable drop in range during cold weather due to the increased energy demands of battery heating systems. The process of warming up the battery pack consumes additional power, reducing the overall efficiency and available driving distance. Unlike internal combustion engines, EVs lack waste heat from exhaust systems to assist in cabin heating, forcing them to rely solely on electric resistance heaters. These factors combined make cold-weather driving particularly challenging for electric vehicle owners.
