Why is the Audi e-Tron's range significantly lower in cold weather?

I've noticed that the range of my Audi e-Tron decreases significantly when it's cold outside. Is this a common issue and is there a fix for it?

According to Audi, cold weather can reduce the range of an e-Tron by up to 30%. This is due to the battery and powertrain being less efficient in colder temperatures.

To combat the effects of cold weather on range, you can try pre-heating your car while it's still plugged in. This will ensure that the battery and powertrain are at optimal temperatures for maximum efficiency.
