Why does my Audi e-Tron have less range in colder temperatures?

I've noticed that my Audi e-Tron's range decreases significantly when the temperature drops. Why does this happen and is there anything I can do to improve it?

Electric cars, like the Audi e-Tron, use lithium-ion batteries which are sensitive to temperature changes. In cold weather, the battery has to work harder to maintain its charge, which can reduce its overall range. To improve range in colder temperatures, try pre-heating your car or using the seat and steering wheel warmers instead of relying on the heater.

The reduced range in colder temperatures is due to the increase in battery resistance caused by lower temperatures. This results in the battery producing less power, decreasing the range. To mitigate this, make sure to fully charge your car and avoid high-speed driving in colder weather.

Colder temperatures also affect the aerodynamics of your car, causing it to use more energy to move through the air. This can contribute to the reduced range in your Audi e-Tron. Keeping your tires properly inflated and avoiding unnecessary weight in your car can help improve range.
