🥶 Why Electric Cars Lose Range in Winter: Cold Battery, Cabin Heat and Air Density Lab
A Blender-built generic electric car on a 3D winter road with an x-ray view of the battery, motor and cabin heater. Set speed, outside temperature from -20 to 35 C, cabin set-point, hills, wind, tyres and road surface to see Wh/km, range, a stacked breakdown of drag, rolling resistance, cabin climate and auxiliaries, resistive heater versus heat pump COP, cost and CO2 per 100 km.
