Why does my Audi e-Tron's battery range decrease in cold weather?

I've noticed that during the winter months, the range of my Audi e-Tron decreases significantly. Is this a common issue with electric vehicles? What can I do to maximize my battery range during colder temperatures?

It is normal for electric vehicles to have a decreased range in cold weather due to the increased strain on the battery. To maximize your range, make sure you fully charge your battery before heading out and take advantage of any pre-conditioning features to warm up the battery before driving.

Investing in a garage or shelter for your Audi e-Tron can help protect it from the cold weather and maintain a more stable temperature for the battery. Additionally, consider keeping your vehicle plugged in when not in use to keep the battery warm.

You may also want to explore using a different driving mode or adjusting your driving habits during colder temperatures. B mode, for example, can help with regenerative braking and may improve your battery range.
