AAA: Range of electric cars cut in cold, hot weather
March 20, 2014 /
"We expected degradation in the range of vehicles in both cold and hot climates, but we did not expect the degradation we saw."
Among AAA’s recommendations: storing the electric car in a garage; monitoring recharge times in colder weather; preheating or cooling the car while it’s plugged in to reduce battery drain, and using electric seat heaters to keep warm.
