Using the air conditioning in an electric vehicle at an outside temperature of 25 °C increases energy consumption by approximately 0.5 to 1 kWh/100 km. At temperatures above 30 °C, this can rise to 1 to 2 kWh/100 km. According to EnBW, this can reduce the range by approximately 10 to 15% during heat waves. You can reduce air conditioning consumption by parking in the shade, briefly ventilating a hot car, and pre-cooling the vehicle while charging. EnBW recommends using automatic mode and setting the cabin temperature to no more than 6 °C lower than the outside temperature. At speeds above 70 to 100 km/h, the air conditioning is generally more energy-efficient than open windows. enbw.com 🇩🇪
