- A new AAA study shows how much extreme temperatures affect the efficiency of EVs and hybrids.
- Six cars were tested on a dynamometer at different temperatures.
- EVs take a bigger range hit at low temperatures, but they’re still cheaper to run than hybrids.
Everybody knows that electric cars take a range hit when temperatures drop. That’s just the way batteries work, and it might convince some people that EVs are not for them, so they start looking for alternatives, like conventional hybrids.
