BTW, how much are ICE cars hit with drop in gas mileage during the winter month? How come no one complains about that? Or are EVs hit harder in the cold wintertime?
I have a 2010 Chevy Colorado small pickup (successor to the Chevy S10). I keep track of its gas mileage. It gets 27-30 mpg in summer, and 22-25 mpg in Minnesota winters.
Our 2013 Nissan Leaf has a range of about 90 miles in summer, and 50 miles in winter.
At the moment, it's -10 deg.F here in Minnesota. My son is here for Xmas, and borrowed the Leaf. Starting with 100% charged, he turned it on for 15 minutes to warm it up and melt off the ice/snow, which dropped it to 92% charged. He ran errands totaling 35 miles, and when he returned home, it was essentially at 0% charge.
