Battery Performance (Winter vs. Summer)
General Insights:
EV batteries can lose 15-30% range in winter due to lower temperatures reducing chemical activity and increased use of heating systems.
In summer, EVs typically achieve close to their maximum range, though extreme heat may require air conditioning and impact range slightly.

Winter: ~400-450 km (out of 560 km)

Ford Mustang Mach-E:
Winter: ~350-400 km (out of 500 km)
Summer: ~480-500 km
