EV Winter range test

[DeaneG]

A telling EV winter range test in Norway. Some cars came very close to their rated range, others fell far short:

Lucid wasn't there, but Lucid wont do particularly well there I think. In the US midwest, I see that I lose range by about 2x (i.e. loss of 2 miles range per mile driven) when temperature was 10-25F range.. It hit -10 last week, and I was losing range at 3x!! That is still plenty of range for my daily driving, but I was a bit shocked. Seems to be doing better over freezing point though (1-1.25x).

Lucid would have embarrassed itself there—wise decision not to participate.
