Cold weather doesn’t just reduce EV range — it exposes a hidden energy hog that drains your battery when you least expect it.
Yes, lithium-ion batteries slow down in the cold. But that’s only part of the story.
In this video, we reveal the real culprit behind winter range anxiety: how EVs create heat — and why short, everyday trips are the worst-case scenario. Using real-world winter testing data and engineering principles, we show what’s actually happening under the floor… and exactly how to fight back.
You’ll learn:
Why cold batteries lose efficiency (and why that’s not the main problem)
The hidden power draw that demolishes winter range
Why short trips are brutal for EV efficiency
Real winter test results from independent organizations
Why heat pumps outperform resistive heaters
How preconditioning can save massive amounts of energy
Simple habits that dramatically improve winter range
This isn’t an EV flaw.
It’s a physics problem — and once you understand it, you can beat it.
