Canadians are concerned about EV range in cold weather. CAA did a real-world test with a dozen vehicles. Here’s what they learned

      It’s unfortunate they don’t state things like the heating settings used and which trim level of each car was tested. Range can differ on a FWD versus an AWD version.

      Seems roughly accurate though. I took my Ioniq 5 for a cold weather test at -25 (105 km/h highway, little wind, heat on a comfortable level for just the driver) and got around 30 kWh/100km.

      I’m still going to use my ICE vehicle for any 200+ km trips that are necessary in frigid weather but the Ioniq is the preference for anything else.
