That made me laugh.
Sounds like a bit of global warming is just what we're needing“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.”
Anybody that's worked on a construction site in the winter time with battery tools knows the batteries are severely affected by the cold.Wow! This sucks!
Why Cold Weather Kills a Tesla - and Every Other EV on the Market
Tesla owners in Chicago recently faced a significant issue when their vehicles were left dead, completely unable to charge in the frigid subzero temperatures, highlighting the fact that cold weather is a major Achilles' heel for electric vehicles (EVs).www.breitbart.com

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.
Good deal, Doug!That made me laugh.
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.Wow! This sucks!

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

I can neither confirm nor deny such activities occur on a jobsite.
He didn't even mention the biggest up side to sheep......Here’s another funny video I just came across.
