Range in warmer weather :)

i8fun · 04-17-2016, 01:39 PM

What a difference in temperature makes on the range of the car.

It's started getting warmer up here, and i've seen my range increase by 30%

It's about 17.5 degrees Celsius today, and was shocked to see what the range was when i got in the car this morning.

Anyone else experience this? The colder temperatures definitely take a hit on the battery/range.

The e-range has been rather broad for my i8. Depending on the ambient temperature, driving manner, and utilization of the various modes (electric, comfort, sport or eco-pro), my e-range has been anywhere from 14 to 24 miles. In general, I do see a marked increase in e-range during warmer weather.
