Serious range losses are reflected in the table in the electric car winter test carried out by Germany-based ADAC.
While electric cars continue to occupy more and more space in our lives day by day, the days when this number will increase rapidly in parallel with the investments made by the brands are waiting for us. By 2030, the investments made by many important European-based brands to transform into formations where only electricity-oriented models will be sold, claim to bring along new technologies that will eliminate the range concerns of users, as well as model diversity. In the last few years, there are scenarios where this type of vehicle, which has achieved a significant increase in sales in terms of sales numbers, is both advantageous and disadvantageous. As with many battery-powered things, range losses observed in cold weather conditions are at the forefront of this. based in Germany ADACrecently shared the results he observed in the winter test he carried out on 7 different models.

Results from the ADAC electric car winter test
Looking at the test list shared by ADAC, as long as; We see names like Volkswagen ID.3, Hyundai Kona Electric, Fiat 500e, Renault Zoe, Nissan Leaf, Lexus UX300e and Ford Mustang Mach E included. In the shared scenario where the weather conditions are up to a maximum of -7, we see the result that the most serious range loss among these vehicles is on the Volkswagen ID.3 side. The model, which can cover a range of around 325 kilometers in normal standards, suffers a serious range loss of 50 percent in the winter test and regresses to 162 kilometers. Nissan Leaf and Lexus UX300e perform in this test with 37 percent range loss, Ford Mustang Mach-E 33 percent, Hyunda Kona 32 percent, Renault Zoe 30 percent and Fiat 500e 25 percent. In addition to the fact that parking the vehicles in closed garages instead of outside can be an important factor in reducing these losses, making use of elements such as seat heating instead of air conditioning also reduces the loss in range.
Fiat 500e – 244 kilometers – 182 kilometers in winter test – 25% range loss
Renault Zoe – 351 kilometers – 244 kilometers in winter test – 30 percent range loss
Hyundai Kona electric – 215 kilometers – 147 kilometers in winter test – 32 percent range loss
Ford Mustang Mach-E – 300 kilometers – 202 kilometers in winter test – 33 percent range loss
