An electric vehicle range test from M0veElectric has revealed some cars can suffer a range drop of up to 20% in winter
Significantly, the test also revealed the positive impact of buying an electric car fitted with a heat pump, which reduces strain on the battery by drawing excess heat from the electric drivetrain, distributing it around the interior of the car through the air conditioning. Five models equipped with a heat pump were tested and they fell short of their official WLTP mileage figures by an average of 25.4%.
The tests were conducted on a closed vehicle proving ground, on a 15-mile route consisting of 2.6 miles of simulated stop-start urban traffic, four miles of steady 50mph driving and eight miles driving at a constant speed of 70mph to simulate motorway journeys.
