“Autocar goes on to say that the range tests also emphasized the importance of a heat pump for dealing with cold-weather range loss. Models with a heat pump had an average winter range loss of about 25% compared to their WLTP-estimated range. Meanwhile, those without a heat pump lost an average of around 34%.”
Some models can drop even more but also some less. Its all about how efficient the car is built with regards to its drag coefficiency, engines, BMS, interior heating etc.
The start of the winter was brutal for my mach e but I settled in and got used to the winter range.
My 2013 Leaf dropped a bit more than that. Good to know the more modern cars experience less of a dramatic change.
