Why does my Nissan Leaf lose range in cold weather?

I've noticed that my Nissan Leaf's range decreases significantly in colder temperatures. Is this a common issue? What can I do to improve my range in the cold weather?

Yes, it is a common issue for electric cars to lose range in cold weather. This is due to the fact that the battery is less efficient in colder temperatures.

To improve range in the cold weather, try pre-heating your car while it is still plugged in to warm up the battery. Also, try to limit your use of the car's heater, as it can drain the battery quickly.

Another tip is to drive in eco mode and to avoid using the car's regenerative braking feature, as it can also decrease range in cold weather.
