TripCaptain

Cold-weather EV range, factor by factor

This short walkthrough shows why the range on an EV's window sticker is a summer number, and what really happens to it in winter. Take the same car out into deep cold, a headwind, and a climb, and a large slice of that range quietly disappears.

Instead of one mysterious drop, the clip itemizes where every kilometre goes — cold cells, cabin heat, headwind, and climb — each on its own line. Charging stops are then placed against your actual route and the day's conditions, with margin built in because fast charging slows in the cold.
