Why is the range of the Audi e-Tron limited in extreme temperatures?

I am considering buying an Audi e-Tron, but I am concerned about its range in extreme temperatures. Can you explain why this is and offer advice on how to mitigate it?

Hi Samantha, the range of the Audi e-Tron is affected by extreme temperatures due to the sensitivity of its lithium-ion battery. In hot weather, the battery can overheat and in cold weather, it can lose its efficiency. To mitigate this, try to plan your routes to avoid extreme temperatures, and make sure to use the vehicle's pre-conditioning features to prepare the battery before driving.

Hi Samantha, the limited range in extreme temperatures is a common issue among electric vehicles. To maximize the range of your Audi e-Tron, make sure to keep it charged regularly and try to park it in a shaded area during hot weather. You can also use the vehicle's app to pre-cool or pre-heat the interior before getting in, instead of using the climate control while driving, which can drain the battery quicker.
