Fair enough. The last time I looked into range figures was a few years ago when I was last in the market for a car, and I couldn't get a lot of data on cold weather ranges (lower, yes, but by how much? No one wanted to say.)

The standard safe estimate is ~β…“ reduction when temps are around -25Β° to -30Β°, but it varies by car as to how much each degree affects that particular battery design.

You can use abetterrouteplanner.com and put in actual drives for different car models and in the settings you can set temperature, headwind, etc...
