Pakistan’s hot climate can accelerate battery degradation, especially in cities like Karachi, Lahore, and Multan, where temperatures often remain high throughout the year. Heat reduces lithium-ion battery efficiency, which can lead to:

A noticeable in driving range over time.

Slower charging speeds, as the car limits charging rates to protect the battery from overheating.

More frequent battery cooling cycles, which consume extra energy and reduce efficiency.

Because fast chargers are not common, owners rely heavily on home charging, which can be slow and sometimes unstable due to voltage fluctuations. This further impacts charging performance.
