How Much Does Tesla's LFP Battery Range Decrease in Winter?

[ZoeFitz]

Tesla's LFP battery has a range of 468KM. Under low-temperature winter conditions, vehicles equipped with LFP batteries experience a 35% reduction in range. Additional information about LFP batteries is as follows: 1. Working Principle: It is a lithium-ion battery that uses lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) as the cathode material and carbon as the anode material. The nominal voltage of a single cell is 3.2V, with a charging cutoff voltage of 3.6V~3.65V. During charging, some lithium ions in the lithium iron phosphate are extracted and transferred through the electrolyte to the anode, embedding into the carbon material of the anode. Simultaneously, electrons are released from the cathode and travel through the external circuit to the anode, maintaining the balance of the chemical reaction. During discharge, lithium ions are extracted from the anode, travel through the electrolyte to the cathode, while the anode releases electrons that travel through the external circuit to the cathode, providing energy to the external circuit. 2. Advantages: LFP batteries offer high working voltage, high energy density, long cycle life, excellent safety performance, low self-discharge rate, and no memory effect.
