Why does my Nissan Leaf's battery level decrease drastically in cold weather?

I've noticed that my Nissan Leaf's battery level decreases much faster in cold weather. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to prevent it?

Yes, it is normal for electric car batteries to lose charge faster in cold weather. It is due to the chemical reactions that occur in the battery. To prevent this, try keeping your car in a garage or using a battery warmer.

I have a Nissan Leaf and live in a cold climate as well. I would recommend investing in a portable electric car heater or using a preheat function if your car has it. This will help keep your battery at a more efficient temperature.
