You might also check the 12v battery, if it's limping along on the original or a dead one it would have to be constantly recharged by the HV battery & inverter running more often. Our 2013 had the original battery still in it when we bought it a couple months ago, clinging on at 11.9v. Mileage seems to have improved slightly with a fresh one.
The battery in my MB was the original Bosch so 20 years old when I replaced it.
(for general reference Lion are one of the worst battery brands out there. Exide are OK but that's far too expensive. Bosch and Varta are generally the exact same product with different stickers on and are always good, and rarely all that expensive.
I have a 2016 Gen 4 that my partner commutes about 100 miles round trip in. Aside from its strange looks it's a great car. Zero repairs so far at more than 220K miles. No rattles or clunks. Every single electric button and switch still works.
Not a Lexus but 2023 Camry and had my battery die twice and both times had Toyota test it and charge it.
It was from lack of use, and short drives. The battery was also on the low amp of cca ratings. I replaced it with a much stronger CCA rating battery and haven't had any issues,
Try tsure cars from toyota. A little bit expensive yes pero ang na receive namin is free transfer of ownership, free basic pms, free new battery, and na discountan nang insrance. We need a company car got a vios 2019 G w/ 65k milage at 540k php pang harabas.
My 2012 recently needed a battery replacement
So on top of cold weather, your battery may need attention
The Bosch has slightly lower Cold Cranking Amps at 330 vs the Yuasa at 360. Also Bosch has 4 yr warranty vs Yuasa 5yr.
My factory battery died at 30k miles on a 2024 corolla…
I went to a Škoda dealer to look at a car to buy. The car was a Rapid 1.4 SE DSG which was advertised at £8995. The car was stored remotely from the dealer, basically in a field. The battery was completely flat.
