A recent study by Geotab investigates the energy consumption of car air conditioning, particularly its impact on electric vehicle range. The research highlights that air conditioning systems significantly increase energy usage, especially during periods of extreme heat. This increased demand directly reduces the distance an electric vehicle can travel on a single charge. The study aims to quantify this effect, providing drivers with a clearer understanding of the trade-offs between comfort and range. Findings are particularly relevant as temperatures rise and air conditioning use becomes more prevalent. Geotab’s research offers insights into optimizing energy efficiency while maintaining driver comfort during hot weather.
