Driving conditions in Chicago
Chicago winters cut EV range noticeably. Cold batteries hold less usable energy, cabin heating draws extra power and DC charging slows until the pack warms up. If your range estimate drops faster than expected on a cold morning, call before you hit 0%; it is quicker to top up than to recover a fully drained car.
