A new study by the American Automobile Association (AAA) indicates that in extreme weather, the range of electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles (EVs) is significantly reduced, and costs increase accordingly; the damage is even more pronounced in cold weather. The AAA stated that researchers tested three pure electric vehicles and three hybrid vehicles in test chambers at temperatures of 20 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately -6 degrees Ce…
AAA study finds extreme temperatures reduce EV, hybrid efficiency and raise costs - WRNJ Radio
Extreme temperatures can significantly reduce efficiency, driving range and increase operating costs for electric and hybrid vehicles, according to a new study from AAA. The research examined how electrified powertrains perform in cold, moderate and hot conditions, testing three electric vehicles and three hybrids at 20 degrees, 75 degrees and 95 degrees. The study found cold weather had the greatest impact. Electric vehicles saw a 35.6% drop in…
