My first winter with the EV6 and the range has taken a proper hit. Was getting 280 miles easily in the summer, now I'm looking at more like 210-220 on a good day. I know cold weather affects everything but that feels like a lot. What are you all seeing? And does pre-conditioning actually help?

Yep, same here with the Ioniq 5 (same platform really). I lose about 20-25% in the worst of winter. Pre-conditioning helps a bit but the big one is keeping it plugged in overnight so the battery can warm itself. Worth it if you're on a cheap tariff.

My Polestar 2 is the same. I just accepted it now - winter range is what it is. I charge to 90% instead of 80% in winter and that basically makes up the difference for my commute.

Good shout on charging to 90% in winter, I might try that. I've also been using the seat heaters instead of the cabin heater which seems to help - the heated seats in the EV6 are proper toasty.
