Unfortunately he doesn't say how cold. Going from heated garage to heated garage shouldn't be a problem, but, say, driving to Lake Louise and leaving it all day? I wonder if it would have the range for that round trip in -15. |
I would think a 100D wouldn't be an issue. The range is 530km.
With our 85D, the range is 436km and it's tight. Depending on how cold it is, we lose about 25-30% if the car is left outside like that. So from experience, in -20, doing 120km/hr, I would fill up on the way home at the Canmore supercharger and have plenty of charge to get home. That's my way of saying, I don't think it would make it, with me being able to stay warm doing the speed I want to. The car will make it home, BUT once the battery gets low, the car will go into conserve mode. The heater turns down, and the car will slow down. I would make it, but could be crawling. Heated garage to heated garage, no problem. The key is starting the car with the app, and warming up the battery before you go out. At Lake Louise, you turn the car on while getting ready to go. Toasty car when you get to it.
