How Far Can NETA EV Travel in Winter?
2 Answers
In winter with an ambient temperature of around 5-7°C, the actual range of NETA EV is 352km. Methods to extend the range: Avoid sudden hard acceleration and braking while driving, refrain from frequent lane changes, reduce vehicle weight, and maintain smooth, linear driving to achieve a longer driving range. Vehicle range: Range, also referred to as endurance capability, is the total distance a vehicle can travel continuously with its maximum fuel reserve. For electric vehicles, the range is the distance traveled from a fully charged state of the power battery to the end of the test under standard conditions, serving as an important economic indicator for EVs. Reasons for reduced range in winter: Battery capacity decreases in low temperatures; using the heater consumes additional electricity.
Electric vehicle range does indeed decrease in winter, primarily because low temperatures affect battery performance. For example, a standard NETA model can typically travel around 500 kilometers in spring and autumn. However, when winter arrives, especially when temperatures drop below freezing, the chemical reactions inside the battery slow down, leading to higher power consumption. Additionally, the air conditioning system needs to continuously provide heating, which further drains the battery. Usually, the range can drop by 20-30%, meaning an actual range of around 350 kilometers is considered decent. But that's not all—the lower the temperature, the greater the reduction. If it's minus ten degrees Celsius outside combined with high-speed driving, the range might drop below 300 kilometers. So, for long-distance trips, it's wise to check charging station locations in advance. Overall, temperature has a significant impact, so don’t rely entirely on the dashboard numbers—keeping some extra range as a buffer is safer.
