I left my GMC Sierra EV Denali Max Range outside in -15°F to -20°F weather for 72 hours… with no charger.
No garage.
No plug-in.
Just extreme Wisconsin cold.
During one of the coldest stretches in recent history, my truck sat at an airport parking lot while I flew to Florida. Temperatures dropped into subzero conditions, with reports calling it one of the coldest days on record since the 1800s.
When I returned, the battery was at 61% and I had 40 miles to drive home.
In this video, I share what actually happened:
• Cold start behavior
• Turtle mode performance
• Real-world battery consumption in extreme cold
• Cabin heat performance
• Tesla charging stop in subzero temps
• Final battery usage getting home
Yes, there was increased battery drain at first.
Yes, it took longer to warm up.
But once the vehicle reached operating temperature after 20 to 30 minutes of driving, consumption stabilized more than most people expect.
I made it home with no issues and only used about 10% to finish the trip.
If you live in a cold climate and are wondering whether an EV can realistically handle -20°F weather, this is a real-world test from central Wisconsin.
Let me know in the comments:
What’s the coldest temperature you’ve driven in?
Would you trust an EV in extreme winter conditions?
