Why does my BMW iX's range decrease in cold weather?

I noticed that my BMW iX's range decreases significantly when it's cold outside. Is this a common issue with electric vehicles and what can I do to improve the range during winter?

Cold weather does tend to decrease the range of electric vehicles, including the BMW iX. This is because the battery's performance is affected by temperature. To improve your range, try preheating your car while it's still plugged in before driving. This will help to warm up the battery and improve its efficiency.

Yes, it is normal for electric vehicle ranges to decrease in cold weather. This is due to the battery's temperature sensitivity. To mitigate the impact, try using seat warmers instead of using the climate control, as this will use less energy. Additionally, keep your battery charged above 50% and avoid using quick charging in cold weather.

I've found that my BMW iX's range also decreases in cold weather. My advice is to plan your routes carefully and avoid making unnecessary stops or detours. This will help to conserve your battery's energy. Also, make sure to keep your tires properly inflated as under-inflated tires can decrease your range.
