Southern U.S. States Lead in EV Range According to New Data
Extreme temperatures, especially cold weather, significantly reduce EV range, posing challenges for Canadian drivers in regions like the Yukon and Northwest Territories. Canadian provinces with milder climates, such as British Columbia and Ontario, generally experience better EV range during warmer months. Canada offers robust EV incentives including up to $4,000 federal rebates through the iZEV program, with additional provincial rebates in Ontario, British Columbia, and Quebec to boost adoption. Canadian EV owners can mitigate cold weather range reduction by parking in garages, pre-conditioning batteries, driving efficiently, and using winter tires. Despite colder climates impacting range, Ontario and British Columbia lead in Canadian EV adoption thanks to strong incentives and growing infrastructure.
