Winter kills range, we all know that. But why exactly? Is it just the battery temperature and the use of the heater and demister? And if so, what about long distance trips - with multiple rapid charges?
I'm interested in heading from Scotland to Cheltenham at Christmas - a 350 mile trip I have done three times this Summer in my Mark One 2013 Leaf. So what I wish to ask is - does the poor initial performance starting from cold improve as the battery is repeatedly warmed up over multiple rapid charges? Has anyone ever measured this?
