Do EVs lose range in hot weather?

If the temperature is below 90℉, range loss won’t be noticeable. Once temperatures reach 95℉ or 100℉, you may notice some temporary range loss, but it won’t be as noticeable as range loss in extremely cold temperatures because a comfortable cabin temperature of 70℉ is much closer in temperature to 95℉ than it is to 10℉. 

In hot temperatures, it is helpful to make sure you don’t get to extremely low states of charge because your car’s thermal management system requires energy to cool the battery. You can protect your vehicle’s battery and range by parking it in the shade or in a parking garage during hot spells.
