Has anyone come across any studies/research on range of the EVs in Norway? They don't have the warmest of climates and makes me wonder what actual impact it has on range of batteries vs advertised range of EVs
Anecdotal, but my personal experience with an Ioniq 5 in -28C increased the power consumption by about 50% over summer driving. My test was about 42 km, done with comfortable, driver-only cabin heat on a flat highway with no wind.
Average highway consumption is about 20 kWh/100km, that test was 29.3 kWh/100km.
Saying that, an EV is quite practical in Saskatchewan, Canada. Charging is finally getting to a point where that extreme winter range limitation is less of an issue. Having a second ICE vehicle does take the pressure off if one absolutely has to travel when it's that cold out though.
Interesting, luckily don't really expect those temps in lower mainland BC so the other link was handy as they did their tests at -2 to -10 C. Still that's a noticeable drop if you don't have particularly good range to begin with.
