Yup, and part of that is "winter blend" for gas. I know i get a 10% boost by my second tank of "summer blend".
As a noodle thought, yes pack capacity is reduced in winter, but do you lose "charge"? Or is it like, in ICE terms, your 15 gallon tank gets sectioned off in winter, and you can only fill/drain 10 gallons of it. You dont "lose" 5 gallons.
Part of it is the blend, the other part is it takes more gasoline to fill a tank and run a car when it is cold vs when it is warm because gasoline expands in warm weather due to the warmer temps.. so lets say it takes 1 gallon of gas to fill the gas lines in a car.. in the winter, it will take up to 25% more to fill that same volume than in the summer due to the volume change caused by the temperatures.
