Calculation Methodology

Real World Range = Rated Range * Temperature Factor * Speed Factor * HVAC Load Factor. Cold temperatures reduce chemical kinetics and battery internal resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions

At 0°C (32°F) to -10°C (14°F), most EVs lose 20% to 35% of their rated WLTP range, largely due to cabin PTC/heat pump heating.
