The 2020-2021 year of ownership of this car didn’t give me enough data to share, in terms of range differences in hot/cold weather, due to COVID 19 and Greece having very strict quarantine policies. I almost didn’t drive at all during the cold periods.

The 2021-2022 year though is a different story.
Conditions:
Summer 2021
Country: Greece
Avg. Temperature: 33+ Celsius
Humidity: Very high

1)The minimum range I had done during that period, with a 100% battery, was 350~km, highway speeds 100-150 km/h.
2)The maximum range I had done during that period, with a 100% battery, was 460~km, city speeds 30-70 km/h.

After the October though, I was starting to get worried. My range started dropping drastically.

Conditions:
Winter 2021-2022
Country: Greece
Avg. Temperature: -5 to 10 Celsius
Humidity: Very high

1)The minimum range I had done during that period, with a 100% battery, was 200-250km, highway speeds 100-140 km/h.
2)The maximum range I had done during that period, with a 100% battery, was 300-330km, city speeds 30-70 km/h.

I got so worried that I went to the dealership, thinking that I had problems with my battery. After many check-ups they assured me that everything was good with my car.

Now back to summer conditions - 2022.
My range finally is back to over 400km per 100% charge.

We should exclude tires being the reason to the DRASTIC changes, because I still am on my 2020 tyres (Pirelli P Zero). Condition and model of tyres will not change the range so much.

It’s definitely the climate and especially the humidity.

I tried all seasons (PS4 AS) when I needed a tire change recently. I hated them (so did my wife) and swapped them immediately for PS4S. All is right in the world again. Will be locating a spare set of wheels and AS tires for the 2-3 months per year that I need them.
