Teslas range does go down as well but their system shows inaccurate range and its widely tested and there are many youtube videos to prove it that Teslas don’t go as much as promised range during the winters if goes down but the ETA still shows the same range but its usually false claims.
EVs that do not have Heat Pump systems for heating suffer in range dramatically. I love my Mach E so what I do is mitigate it, if its above 40 but still cold. I use heated seats and heated steering. its fine for me. And I keep most of my range.
I live in Toronto. I know cold. I do not have a garage. My MME sits outside in winter. I always plug it in when the expected temperature is cold. 15 minutes before leaving, I remote start it with my Ford Pass. When I get in the car, the seats are warm, so is the steering wheel and the windshield is defrosted. The range dropped somewhat, but the most significant reason for it dropping is not warming it up while plugged in.
Hello! I live in Michigan and want a Mach-E with the new LFP battery. You know from Toronto, winter can easily be well below zero (Celsius) and sometimes below zero (Fahrenheit). I can plug it in at home, but what about road-trips up North? What do you think?
Tesla's battery range does go down as well. Temperature has a direct impact on battery life and efficiency. Add in the extra power to heat the vehicle, and batteries take a bit more amperage draw. Tesla simply has better temperature management for battery cooling and heating. Their heat pump also helps. The Mock-E has poor battery temperature management. Hence, the 5 seconds unbridled boost limit and overheating in desert regions engaging turtle mode. I'd say the biggest Mock-E weak spot is battery temperature management. That's why I have been holding off on ordering the Mock-E for now.
My mate has a standard Tesla Model 3, here in Scotland when the temperature was around 0 degrees, he was getting a range of approx 120 miles on an 80% charge.
Consumer Reports have a better graph/test for EVs in different weather conditions and comparison to the EPA range. MachEs are not that bad. Tesla did not even got the EPA range on good conditions and winter was in par with MachE
The range display on a Tesla model 3 is greatly exaggerated. I own a Mach E as well. In the real world driving experience the model 3 range is just slightly better than that of the Mach E. However the model 3 achieves this with a much smaller battery so is more efficient than the Mach e

That’s pretty shady..
This is 100% correct. The battery chemistry is essentially the same for both manufacturers.
Tesla range is reduced in the cold as well. At least 20% diff. First hand knowledge as I live in Buffalo NY

Thank you. I needed to hear that. I will do the same once I get mine.

A recent software update (September 2023) I got for my MME specifically addressed battery preheating ahead of fast charging on long trips.

LOL 30 degrees isnt cold!!!
It is for Florida! 😂
20% is normal for all EV’s
Do u have the standard range?
Yup standard range gets roughly 240 miles

Teslas have a heat pump for interior heat
I more surprised by that chart your posted. Real Tesla owner have shown then lose range also in the cold.

good to know, I am also a Mach E owner. I love it but wish the management was better.
