It shows the toy car going from a 60 mile range down to a 20 mile range, and that is at 25 deg F, not -5 F that it has been here for the past week!
No, it most certainly does not. You need to read the article again:
“In hindsight, it’s not surprising the Mitsubishi MiEV EV I drove barely made it to 50 miles rather than its rated 62 miles (100 km).”
In that example, the cold-weather range was 80% of it's EPA rated range, not the one-third you claimed.
<still waiting>
Nobody is getting a 20 mile range in moderately cold temps. It’s been around that here all week, and while my range has dropped it’s nowhere near that much: don’t have hard numbers handy, but worst case is going from ~100 (warm temps, considerate driving) to 60+ (below freezing, heater on, somewhat worse-than-usual driving).
There’s a difference between living the statistics vs pulling ‘em out of ... somewhere.
