Cold Weather Hurts EV Range, Just One of Many Adoption Barriers

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis, explains how cold weather reduces EV battery ranges, with some models losing up to 50%. Volkswagen EVs, for instance, lose up to 40%, which affects their sales. McIntyre highlights other obstacles to EV adoption, including high costs, limited range, insufficient charging infrastructure, and faster tire wear. Manufacturers face the challenge of making EVs more appealing, especially in colder regions.
