Low temperatures are one of the worst enemies of electric vehicles because of the range losses that occur when the thermometer’s values go down. And of course, you need to make the cabin warm, which sips even more energy from the batteries, lowering the range further.
But Ford says there may be a better way to heat the interior than using the good old air conditioning system, which could lead to an increase in range of around five percent in temperatures as low as -7℃ (19.4 ℉).
