Random Internet Shit you've come across

Wow! This sucks!



From the article:

“The core problem lies in the fact that EVs are inherently less efficient in cold weather. Research has shown that EVs can lose up to 30 percent efficiency on average, impacting their driving range significantly. For instance, an EV with a range of 200 to 215 miles might only achieve 150 to 175 miles in cold conditions. Scott Case, the co-founder and CEO of battery research firm Recurrent notes that EVs “definitely lose some of their driving range in extreme cold.” This efficiency drop is attributed to the chemical and physical reactions inside an EV’s battery, which require more time in the cold, thereby reducing the power available to the vehicle.”


On a related note we skipped the D.C. Auto show this year due to the primary focus on EV’s and the absence of Muscle Cars. It will be interesting to see how many attend the show this year.

Sounds like a bit of global warming is just what we're needing (y)

Anybody that's worked on a construction site in the winter time with battery tools knows the batteries are severely affected by the cold.

Even corded power tools run slower in the cold.

All the sunshine they've been blowing up everyone's collective ass is nothing but BS.

The battery problems are easily solved. They will add some mostly-spent uranium from nuclear power plants to each car battery to help keep the battery warm. This helps save the planet.

Batteries don't do well in the cold?! No way. If only we'd learned of this like 60 years ago.
