> Fuel economy tests show that, in city driving, a conventional gasoline car's gas mileage is roughly 15% lower at 20°F than it would be at 77°F. It can drop as much as 24% for short (3- to 4-mile) trips. > The effect on hybrids is typically greater. Their fuel economy can drop about 30% to 34% under these conditions. > For electric vehicles (EVs), fuel economy can drop roughly 39% in mixed city and highway driving, and range can drop by 41%. About two-thirds of the extra energy consumed is used to heat the cabin. Gee, I wonder why people are more concerned about EV's. Could it be that they lose upwards of 40% range whereas ICE loses roughly 15% fuel economy? And don't tell me I'm being unfair, ICE can lose up to 25% for 3-4 mile trips, which is not the use case anyone is worrying about. |
