If you drive an electric car, the cold weather could affect how far you're able to drive.
New research from AAA reveals that when mercury dips to 20 degrees Fahrenheit - and you use your car heater - the average driving range is decreased by 41 percent.
Researchers say that means your vehicle has to charge more frequently, and you're at risk of being stranded with a dead battery.
Here in Houston, we rarely see temperatures quite that low, but it's a reminder that your electric car could be affected by the upcoming dip in temperatures.
