What Are the Effects of Extremely Cold Weather on New Energy Vehicles?
1 Answers
New energy vehicles may experience different situations depending on the type of model. Here are the main effects: Reduced Driving Range: Both plug-in hybrids and pure electric vehicles are affected. Due to the chemical properties of their power batteries, when the temperature drops below 0 degrees Celsius, their pure electric driving range will decrease to varying degrees. Decline in Acceleration Performance: With the rapid reduction in driving range and the impact of extreme cold, battery performance significantly decreases, and the discharge power weakens. This places an even heavier burden on electric vehicles, which are already limited in mobility, leading to a notable decline in acceleration performance during winter. Charging Difficulties: Due to the influence of low winter temperatures on charging current and speed, charging times become longer.
