It should preferably not rain and preferably not be too cold. Because then it goes beyond the range in electric cars. And this applies to many of them, shows a new Norwegian test.
A new test, which NAF, the Norwegian answer to FDM, is behind reveals that electric cars have a hard time with rainy weather.
Incidentally, the weather must not be too cold either, because it starts to go beyond the battery's range. The NAF even calls their range test a 'summer test'. Although the temperature fluctuated between plus 2 and 13 degrees.
However, the Norwegians were mostly concerned with how much or how little the tested electric cars deviated from their WLTP norm. That is, how far they can officially go on the stream.
And it doesn't look good. But Boosted has uncovered that in another article. Read more about the results here .

But back to the weather. It is perhaps not what Norwegians would associate with anything other than normal when it rains and is cold in the weather in 'summer'. But at least the electric cars don't like it.
The test does not map exactly how much the range of the electric cars suffers in rainy weather. The Norwegians can only state that there is something about it.
Incidentally, the car that did the best was also one of the absolute newest. Namely the Renault Scenic E-Tech. On the other hand, the Peugeot E-308 SW did the worst.
However, Danish FDM points out that some of the difference in range must be found in the electric cars' different battery sizes. It is interesting at the same time that a car that is otherwise beaten for charging really slowly actually keeps what it promises. Read more about it here .
