Based on my experience with Tesla, it's the cold (<5-10C) that's more of a problem. Using the radio doesn't really impact anything. It's also speed, i.e. the faster you go above 100km/hr, it uses exponentially more energy. Not much different than what happens in an ICE car. Just pointing out that if you're really trying to save the most energy, slow down.  |
So temps play a bigger role in range than AC or other similar in cab uses. Might be tough (for me!) to hold my speed at 100km/hr lol
