This is largely a myth put out by rightwingers to trash EV’s in favor of ICE vehicles. It’s a republican lie.

ID4 owner and this is not a myth or a lie—we did a drive on Saturday and it used about 30% more than in warmer conditions (single digit temps vs 40s).

I really doubt this.

+1. I have the ID.4 Pro S and just did a two-hour drive this morning, with MD temps ranging from 29 to 38 (according to my Weather Channel app). The mileage was only slightly worse than what I normally get.

I'm not a rightwinger or a republican, but it's common knowledge that batteries don't perform as well in cold weather. Why do you think car batteries often fail on cold days? I mean, this isn't a conspiracy.

From what I gather, twofold:

cold, very cold temps decrease battery performance

heater drains energy that would otherwise be used for drive-train function

Oh, honey, no. You need to get up to speed because your ignorance is embarrassing.

Um...a quick perusal of Google shows that the PP is CORRECT. Multiple sources.

Agree that the Highlander hybrid is a really good option, but not fantastic in snow (but I can’t imagine another EV being particularly better). It just doesn’t feel like they have as much oomph and weight as a regular gas guzzler.

Get whatever you want and invest in a set of snow tires + rims for $1500

Get a plug in hybrid and get the best of both worlds.

First 20-30 miles on electric only for most of your commute/around town driving. Hybrid gasoline engine for trips like ski trips.

The BMW X5 plug-in hybrid and several of the Volvo Plug-in hybrids are in your budget.

Invest in 3MPSF (Alpine) rated tires for winter months. Nokian and Hakkapalita are among the best. Michelin CrossClimate 2 are also highly rated.

If you’re running the heat, it’ll pull your range down faster — we have the Pro S and can usually go without a lot of heating, thanks to the heated seats and steering wheel, but I do feel bad freezing my kids in the back seat, so I wind up putting the climate control on. For a winter drive mostly at highway speeds, I assume I’ll get around 200 miles for a full charge as opposed to 250 it’s rated for.

LOL, assuming this isn't a troll, EVs get worse mileage in the winter due to simple battery physics/chemistry. It's not at all a partisan claim.
