Electric vehicles are less efficient in cold weather, with Recurrent's researchfindingthat below-freezing temperatures reduced driving range up to 30% on 18 popular EV models. An EV with a 200 to 215 mile range may only go 150 to 175 miles in the cold, Recurrent's Case said, while noting...

2) Factory reset of Infotainment seems to have not made any difference, even with only one phone configured (paired) to it. And the pairing process each time you enter the car seems to be worse. The cold snap (28 degrees F) we're having nights in Central Virginia right now may have ...
A heater may also not be as strong as in older cars with a larger engine. It's a trade-off for better gas mileage. As we mentioned, one sign that the thermostat is stuck open (or missing) is when the engine temperature drops below normal when driving on the highway in cold weather...
