South Korea fines Tesla $2.2 million over EV range disclosures
has suffered another blow after a South Korea regulator said it would fine the company 2.85 billion won for failing to disclose the shorter ranges of its electric vehicles in low temperatures. The Korea Fair Trade Commission said that Tesla EV ranges drop by up to 50.5 percent in cold weather, compared with the ranges that the company stated online.
The antitrust agency claimed that Tesla exaggerated the ranges of its vehicles on a single charge, the performance of Superchargers and fuel cost effectiveness versus combustion engine vehicles, asreports. The KFTC said that Tesla did so on its South Korean website between August 2019 and recently. Studies have shown that ranges for all EVs can drop significantly in colder weather, mainly because the battery that's used to power those cars also heats the interior. Based on data from South Korea's environment ministry, a local consumer group claimed in 2021 that the ranges of most EVs drop by up to 40 percent in cold weather. Tesla's vehicles saw the biggest drop, according to Citizens United for Consumer Sovereignty.
