Why does my Audi e-Tron range decrease while using HVAC?

I have noticed that my Audi e-Tron range significantly decreases when I turn on the HVAC system. What is the reason for this and is there any way to mitigate it?

The HVAC system in your Audi e-Tron uses power from the battery to run. This can have a significant impact on the vehicle's range, especially if used frequently.

To mitigate loss of range while using HVAC, try using the system only when necessary and set it to a moderate temperature. This will help conserve energy and maintain a better range.
