Not seeing it. 95+ degree days I get the best range ever.
My plug-in hybrid has a cooling system for the battery, as I imagine all modern EVs do.
It is winter time that is tough. I get about 1/2 the summertime range, even when I pre-start the car so it can warm up on shore power.
I think they are talking about pure EVs which don't have a gas backup engine.
I don't think that makes any difference. My plugin hybrid uses lithium batteries just like a pure EV.
We need more info on this study. A mod can feel free to delete this post if he or she wants.
Sorry fren, I didn't mean to attack your post. I'm against EV mandates also.
Just sharing what I know to be true.
I don't think the mods should delete your post.
