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

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.

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.

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.

This.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
