Kia Soul EV Winter Range - Don't trust the GOM

https://youtu.be/keMOrpgEHn8
 
What kind of range loss do you see in Winter? I purchased the 2018 model in November and only once to my recollection did I see the GOM show the rated 185km. I typically get 154km on a full charge but in the cold it’s regularly dropped to 136km. Is this normal? Seems like a pretty substantial loss and not any where close to rated.
 
Sounds like normal. My 2016 is rated at 150km and on the worst days in winter it will be around 100km so 50km range drop for winter is normal.

You don't say where you are, I'm in Ottawa, Canada so our winters can be pretty brutal in comparison with some of the other places where the Soul EV is sold. If you are somewhere that has a lot milder winter and are still getting this range loss then it may be a cause for concern.
