Cold winter temperatures weaken the batteries of electric cars. But with a few tricks a high loss of range can easily be prevented.
Cleveland batteries in electric cars are significantly weaker in cold temperatures than in warm ones. The reason: The electrochemical reactions in the energy cells run more slowly. This increases the internal resistance of the battery, which means that the battery needs more energy. The result: the car loses range. Kreiszeitung.de reveals which tips you can still enjoy sufficient coverage in winter.
Because the energy-intensive heating of the car in particular often affects how quickly the batteries ultimately empty. But cold temperatures are not the only opponents of electric cars. Even if it gets too warm, the range is limited. The ideal temperature is around 20 degrees. In exceptional cases, batteries can even ignite unexpectedly at high temperatures. This is why some e-cars are now only allowed to park 15 meters away in city centers. * Kreiszeitung.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
