Range

Recommended Posts

In every article I've read there's complaints about range lost due to cold weather. Is there any range lost due to excessive heat since I live in sunny Florida?

Having driven factory built EV's for the past 23+ years now there is some range lost when the AC is operating (I think 5-10% typically, but I don't have my Mach E yet), but this is not like the intense cold challenges for batteries.  Batteries may also take slightly longer to charge when it is crazy hot for battery management cooling, but that is not significant.

E heat can take a real bite out of range, but I don't drive more that 75 miles day most of the time.

Last year I didn't notice any loss of miles based on heat on my Tesla. I was living in the Florida panhandle at the time. I did still see a lost during our winters but it was mild compared to the northern states.
