A Canadian Tesla Model 3 owner investigated how the vehicle performs after being parked in -26 F weather for six hours. While EV batteries typically lose range in freezing temperatures, charging remains efficient thanks to preconditioning systems. The trip to a Supercharger, just eight miles long, drained only 7% of the battery, as this preconditioning kept the battery at optimal temperatures for quick recharging despite the cold ambient conditions. This indicates significant advancements in EV technology for winter conditions.
Despite the frigid temperatures, Tesla's battery preconditioning system allows the Model 3 to retain efficient charging performance even after sitting outside for hours.
The trip to the Supercharger activated the Model 3's preconditioning system, which heated the battery, optimizing it for charging after enduring low temperatures.
