If you’ve read anything about electric cars in the winter, it probably hasn’t been good. But the truth isn’t so one-sided. Imagine climbing into a cozy, pre-heated EV on a freezing winter day—no engine to start, just instant warmth and comfort! While it’s true that EVs experience reduced range in the cold, they also offer unique advantages that often go overlooked.

Do EVs excel in winter handling? Is it better to be stuck in a snowstorm in a gas-powered car or an electric one? To answer these questions and get the most out of your EV during winter, it’s essential to understand the science behind their performance. We’ll explore why EVs lose range in cold weather, why charging takes longer with cold batteries, and how to navigate these challenges effectively.

While long winter road trips can highlight some disadvantages—like more frequent charging stops—this webinar will provide practical tips for a good winter EV road trip experience.  We also offer a glimpse at emerging technologies that could improve EV winter performance.

Join this free session to gain insights from experienced EV owners, bust myths, and discover how EVs hold up against the cold.

Target Audience: potential EV owners concerned about EV performance in winter; EV owners seeking a good winter experience
