#EVs

As everyone who lives in the SFBA knows, it's been really cold around here recently. Cold weather reduces #EVrange by reducing battery efficiency.

I just discovered how much.🤦‍♂️

I drive FAST which reduces the range of my #iD4Pro from it's publicized EPA range of around 250 miles to just 200-210 miles at 100%.

The recent cold weather has further reduced the car's range to only 170 miles. Good thing that I don't drive it much.

The lease on the iD4 Pro expires in July 2026 &, if/when I lease another, I will not lease anything with an EPA range of less than 350, which is a pretty short list. 🤷‍♂️

🚗🔋BYD's "super" #batteries promise 1,200 miles—because who doesn't want to drive nonstop from New York to Miami and still have enough juice to drive back? 😂 Meanwhile, Electrek's menu toggles have more options than the EV itself. 🤦‍♂️

“Why you should stop worrying about EV range”

“Smaller batteries can satisfy well over 90 percent of American driving needs. So why do they keep getting bigger?”

Not exactly news to many in the EV community, but good to see an article like this in mainstream.
