To maximize EV efficiency in cold weather, minimize energy loss and boost battery performance. Pre-condition your vehicle while it’s still plugged in to warm the battery and cabin using grid power, preserving range. Reduce climate control usage by utilizing heated seats and steering wheels, which are more efficient than cabin heaters. Park indoors or in a garage when possible to keep the battery warm. Plan trips using in-dash navigation to locate chargers and route efficiently; gentle acceleration and regenerative braking also conserve energy. Finally, keep tires properly inflated to lower rolling resistance, ensuring safer and longer drives in winter conditions.
