00:00Hot or cold weather and electric vehicles? Not exactly a love story. AAA put it to the test and
00:04the results are pretty eye-opening. At 20 degrees, EVs can lose up to 39% of their range. Hybrids
00:09take a hit too, with fuel efficiency dropping to about 32%. Heat is not as punishing, but it still
00:17matters. At 95 degrees, EV range dips around 8.5% and hybrids lose roughly 12% efficiency.
00:24Now, here's the kicker. Despite improving technology, cold weather performance hasn't
00:29changed much in recent years. So what's the sweet spot? Between 65 and 75 degrees, where
00:34both EVs and hybrids perform at their best. So the bottom line, if you're driving electric
00:39this winter or summer, there's going to be some trade-offs.
