How is the range on the Audi e-Tron affected by temperature changes?

I am interested in purchasing an Audi e-Tron, but I live in a region with extreme temperature changes. Will the range of the e-Tron be significantly affected by these temperature fluctuations?

Yes, the range of the Audi e-Tron can be impacted by temperature changes. Extreme temperatures either hot or cold can reduce the range of the vehicle. As a general rule of thumb, for every 10 degrees Fahrenheit that the temperature drops, the range of the e-Tron can decrease by about 5%. Therefore, it is important to consider the weather conditions in your area when making your decision on purchasing the e-Tron.

To ensure you get the best range out of your Audi e-Tron in extreme temperatures, it is recommended to preheat or precool the vehicle while it is still connected to the charger. This can help optimize the battery performance and maintain a more consistent range.

Another tip to improve the range of your Audi e-Tron in colder temperatures is to use the Eco mode and limit the use of battery-draining features such as heated seats or climate control. Additionally, keeping the vehicle in a garage or using a dedicated charging station with climate control can also help preserve the battery in freezing temperatures.
