EV range explained: Speed, drag & heating

Why is your EV so efficient on paper, but loses range at high speeds or in winter? We walk through the physics of drag, battery vs fuel energy, heating losses, and what you can do to stretch every kWh ...
Another highlight of the upcoming EX60 SUV is the smart algorithms co-developed with Breathe Battery Technologies. These ...
Cold weather reduces EV battery efficiency and increases energy used for heating. Preconditioning, seat heaters, gentle driving, and proper tire pressure help maintain winter range. Planning charging ...
EVs don't create much heat when they operate, which is usually a good thing — but it's a challenge when the temperature drops ...
