To prevent more battery drain for heating you have to heat your car before you start keeping the car connected to the charging point. This will make your car warm from the mains supply and even after your car has become warm your batteries will still be full. You will be spending only less power to maintain the warmth during your journey. You can also go for heated seats that consume less power than heating the entire cabin. To reduce the need to heat the interior of your car, you can travel with layered clothing so that you stay at higher comfort level even if the cabin is not at its optimum heating range.
  • Pay attention to the place of parking and charging : it is an admitted fact that the battery of an EV loses much of its range when it is parked in sub- zero temperature as well as when it is charged exposed to extreme temperatures. So, if you want to increase the electric vehicles performance in winter pays close attention to the place of parking as well as to the place where you are charging it.
  • Make adjustments to your driving habits: Good driving habits are necessary to get the better out of your electric vehicle in cold weather. Rapid acceleration and frequent braking drains your batteries very fast. So, try to keep a steady pace and it is the best way to get good performance from your electric vehicle in winter.
  • Maintain your EV car properly: to get best out of your EV during winter you have to maintain your vehicle in good condition and this includes checking air pressure often and keep it at recommended levels for better performance.
  • Reduce weight: more weight needs more power and if you want to get good electric vehicles performance in winter make your car as lighter as possible and this can be achieved by removing the unwanted and unneeded accessories to reduce the overall weight and this will definitely give your car a better performance during winter.

Thus, follow certain good driving habits and pay close attention to the maintenance schedule of your EV to assure yourself of a good electric vehicles performance in winter.
