49°F = 10°C
Where I live I have 3+ months a year where it`s <10°C, and can get as low as -10°C. I knew that EV range falters in cold weather, but this is the first time I´ve seen an actual curve and how long it takes to normalize.
Considering that my daily drive is only about 13 miles one way that would mean that I´d be driving with an average consumption of 35-40kwh/100km for several months a year.
That would actually make the average yearly fuel price for a Model 3 more expensive than my LPG Merc thanks to the crazy power prizes here.
Ouch
Thank you very much for the heads up. This is actually a pretty big thing to consider for me concerning my next car purchase......
Leaving it plugged in doesn`t change a thing, just changes the source of the power needed to heat the battery.
