• Electric vehicles operating in cold or hot environments will suffer from decreased range because some of the battery’s energy is used to heat or cool the vehicle, rather than only to turn the wheels.

• Depending on the speed of the vehicle, distance covered will vary for a given battery energy capacity. Hence if the desired distance per charge is decided, the battery energy capacity as well as number of batteries required can be found out.

• Moreover, electrification offerings have grown to include plug-in hybrids and battery-only electric vehicles as well.
