Why do short range drives in winter make me regret my hybrid?

I’m not sure, but from what I’ve read in the EV forums, people are seeing range drops of 15-30% depending on the temperature, with 0-20°F being the worst.

30% is a lot. I had a PHEV and the EV part didn’t really work.

Yeah, in the winter, I feel like I’m just driving a gas-only Sportage. Those don’t have great fuel efficiency to begin with, and the AWD ones are rated at something like 23mpg in the city.

If that. I had a Subaru, and it was terrible on gas too.
