Is it normal for the Audi e-Tron's range to decrease in cold weather?

I recently purchased an Audi e-Tron and have noticed that the range of my electric vehicle decreases significantly in cold weather. Is this expected and is there anything I can do to improve the range?

Hi Lucas, it is completely normal for electric vehicles, including the Audi e-Tron, to experience a decrease in range in cold weather. This is because the battery's performance is affected by temperature. To improve the range, you can try preheating your car while it is still connected to the charger. This will warm up the battery and improve its performance. You can also minimize the use of high-power features, such as seat heaters, which drain the battery quickly.

Hi Lucas, yes, it is expected for an electric vehicle's range to decrease in cold weather. This is due to the battery's chemistry and the fact that it works less efficiently in low temperatures. To improve the range, you can try pre-conditioning your Audi e-Tron before using it. This means setting a departure time in the car's app so that the battery can warm up before you start driving. Also, try to use the heated seats instead of the heater, as they use less energy.

Hello Lucas, as a fellow Audi e-Tron owner, I can assure you that experiencing a decrease in range in cold weather is completely normal. One tip to improve the range is to reduce your speed and avoid aggressive acceleration. This will help conserve battery power. Additionally, make use of the regenerative braking feature, which recovers energy and adds it back to the battery. Stay warm and happy driving!
