Why does my range estimate change?

Changing energy use from acceleration, speed, accessories, weather, route, hills, or towing can make the range fall, rise, or hold steady.

Cold temperatures reduce electric range; set a departure time and cabin temperature to keep the battery at temperature for best range and performance.

What does the vehicle range display mean?
