The number of buyers in the U.S. considering an electric vehicle purchase in 2024 has fallen from a year ago due to a shortage of affordable cars, inadequate charging infrastructure and ignorance about EV benefits, a study by J.D. Power, opens new tab has shown.

Other factors contributing to waning EV demand in the United States include stubborn inflation, high interest rates and underwhelming growth in model availability, the study said.

I’ve heard it’s closer to 40% range loss.

Maybe at -40 degrees if you leave your car outside in the weather. Granted I park my EV in my garage and the coldest its been since I've owned it has been maybe -10 degrees F (-24 degrees C).

So 20% capacity loss due to age

20% from age you'd only see after 12 or more years. If you're charging at home instead of DC fast charging it will likely be less degradation that that even.

Interesting, glad to hear it takes that long to decrease that much. I also don't have a garage to charge in either.

How much range did you lose at -10F? Where I live it isn't unusual to have stretches of -20 for a week at a time.

Thats the temporary 20% range reduction I referred to.

Where I live it isn’t unusual to have stretches of -20 for a week at a time.

Do you have block heaters for your ICE vehicles because of that cold and parking outside?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Nah, it's not really an issue unless You're around -40 or have a diesel. Or if you have an older battery.

In Canada in places where it gets really cold, it used to be common to plug in your car for the block heater in your engine.
