With the popularity of electric vehicles, people are paying more and more attention to their performance in extremely cold weather. In fact, extremely cold weather has a significant impact on the endurance of electric vehicles, which greatly reduces the endurance of vehicles. This article will analyze the reasons for the severe decline in the endurance of electric vehicles in extremely cold weather.

I. Battery performance is affected by temperature

battery is the core component of electric vehicle, and the performance of battery is greatly affected by temperature. In extremely cold weather, the working temperature of the battery will be significantly reduced, resulting in the slowing down of the internal chemical reaction speed of the battery and the decrease of charge transmission capacity, thus affecting the discharge performance of the battery. This phenomenon is especially significant at extremely low temperatures, which greatly reduces the available energy of the battery and leads to a sharp decline in the endurance of the electric vehicle.

II. Increased energy loss

in extremely cold weather, in order to keep the car warm, electric vehicles need to start electric heater or air conditioning system, which will increase the energy consumption of the vehicle. At the same time, the warm-up of Optimus Prime and vehicles during cold start will also consume part of the energy. In addition, the road conditions in extremely cold weather may also lead to the increase of vehicle resistance, which will aggravate the energy consumption of the vehicle, thus affecting the endurance.

III. Decrease in charging efficiency

in extremely cold weather, the charging efficiency of electric vehicles will also decrease significantly. The internal resistance of the battery increases at low temperature, the charging speed slows down, and the charging efficiency decreases. In addition, because the self-discharge speed of the battery slows down in the low temperature environment, the charging efficiency will also decrease. This makes the charging of electric vehicles take longer in extremely cold weather, and the endurance after being fully charged will also be affected.

IV. Reduction of energy recovery efficiency

electric vehicles usually adopt energy recovery system, which converts kinetic energy into electric energy for storage through braking. However, in extremely cold weather, due to the decrease of the working temperature of the battery, the efficiency of the energy recovery system will also decrease, resulting in energy recovery not as expected. This further affects the endurance of the vehicle.

V. Conclusion

the influence of extremely cold weather on the endurance of electric vehicles is a complex problem, involving many aspects such as battery performance, energy loss, charging efficiency and energy recovery. To solve this problem, the future development direction may include improving the performance of batteries in low temperature environment, optimizing the energy management system, and developing new energy vehicle technologies suitable for extreme climate. Through continuous technological innovation and research and development, it is believed that the problem of electric vehicle's endurance decline in extremely cold weather can be gradually solved, and the electric vehicle can perform well under various climatic conditions.
