Range in wintertime

[Bobrae99]

Hello all, I came upon a Norwegian test of the range of EV’s at -19 degrees. It looks as if the Taycan does this quite well with a loss of 11,84%. Maybe our Norwegian drivers can help us with the artical?

Speaking about range (and/or SoC): does anyone noticed how range estimation changed after charging?
When I stop charging it was 85%/311km. Outside temp was around zero (Celsius).
Then i stored charger and prediction range went up to 333km. I locked the car and went to house where i looked to app: 337km. In about an hour, it went down to 328… then 323.
Next day (yesterday) in the morning 310km (outside temp during the night down to -7 C.
Today: 304km.
SoC still remains the same: 85%.

Just st for info. Temperature was not -19. It varied between 0 and -10

Here is a summary of all the tests they have done,:

Alll cars with performance battery +, same route:

2020 summer T ~20C, Taycan 4S on 21' 475km

2021 winter T 0 - -5C, Taycan 4S on 21' 385km

2022 summer T 7-15C, CT4 on 21' 403km

2022 winter 0 - -10C, CT4 on 20' 402km

The 2022 results seems a little suspicious, but thats what they list. Also this test is a little misleading. Normally the lowest temp is on the last stretch, as is the worst climb. A small battery car looks good as it will run out of juice while still warm and flat. A medium range car may almost reach the end of the climb with low temps and look bad on average. Big battery cars will benefit from regen downhill after the climb and look good relative the medium car on avg. So to get the full picture this test must be read in detail, this is also why they split the consumption measurements at several milestones along the way. In my opinon, not very good for simple apples to apples comparison unless you dig into the detail tables

Tanks Bao1303! Perfect addition on the article that I posted.
This is what I meant with “Maybe our Norwegian drivers can help us”. So much better than just Google translate…
