A couple days ago I saw some battery data that claimed electric vehicle mileage declines by 70% when the temperature goes under 30 degrees F.

I’d like to see a real-world test of an EV running air conditioning while traveling in south Texas in early August with the outdoor temperature of about 102 F. Run said tests on interstates AND in the wonderful Houston Friday afternoon traffic.
What is your mileage range in those actual conditions?
EV cars use a simple heat pump for heat and AC. It uses very little power.
On Tesla’s tech page their heater will work for 72 hours on a full charge if the car is not moving-day caught in snow like Va.
