Winter And Cold Weather EV Range Loss Comparison (Including Mach-E)

[Mach-Lee]

one question: how much time do you need on the 240v+ charging to warm the battery? Curious because I have to make a return trip in the cold too…

Depends how cold the battery is to start. 15-60 minutes. You wouldn't have to do it again unless it's been sitting for many hours.

AWD Limited, so the heaviest trim with the largest wheels. The SEL RWD trim has a 303 mile EPA range.

Also AWD gets the heat pump, RWD does not (which is why I asked).

I'm curious how much range loss is experienced with the SEL RWD's 303 mi. range

Anyone else notice that while the Tesla Model Y had the lowest % drop in range between 70 and 20 degrees, even the 70 degree range was only 66% of the EPA estimate? Similar for all the Teslas.

Model or Trim: Long Range AWD
Observed Range at 20-30F: 48% of Original EPA Range
Observed Range at 70F: 66% of Original EPA Range

They don't explain why the range is so much lower than EPA. Are these old Teslas with degraded batteries? If you compare the actual cold range, the Mach-e is the same as the Model Y and S.

Tesla gets away with adjusting the numbers favorably. https://www.caranddriver.com/featur...-factor-tesla-uses-for-big-epa-range-numbers/
