“How much range do modern electric vehicles lose in the cold?” To answer this question, two different comprehensive tests were conducted.
Completely electric Vehicles It is built on lithium-ion batteries, and these batteries offer less range than normal in cold weather. So exactly how much of a drop is there? It is very difficult to give a specific value here. because the range reduction varies considerably depending on the vehicle.. For example, a Mercedes-Benz electric vehicle can lose more range in very cold temperatures than a Chinese electric vehicle. You can see below Chinese And Norway based tests compare the official range values of the selected vehicles, transmitted by companies / institutions, and the actual range values provided in very cold conditions. The vehicle least affected by the cold in Norway-based tests Tesla Model S is happening. The vehicle that lost the most range due to the cold in the Norwegian test was surprisingly Toyota bZ4X 2WD looks like.

Regarding electric car batteries an interesting accident had sounded before that. At the center of this accident was an Audi. As you can see in the video below, the battery of the electric SUV model Audi e-tron, which hit a Toyota brand vehicle at high speed, directly separated from the hull. This really surprised and revealed a frightening situation. The heavy battery pack fortunately did not hit another vehicle on the road or a pedestrian on the roadside, because if that had happened the outcome of the accident would have been much worse (Drivers involved in the accident are in good condition) could have.
Experts say that the separation of the battery pack from the body after the accident is most likely the first time it has been seen. There is no explanation from Audi about this, but there may be a play on the e-tron involved in the accident or there is a serious assembly / production problem in the vehicle. It said it could be.
