Why Cold Weather Kills a Tesla – and Every Other EV on the Market!

[Reagan]

From the article:  "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).  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."

Running in cold weather plus using the heater drains the battery much quicker.

I saw on Youtube one guy said he charged for 3 hours one night.  Went back the next day and charged for 8 hours.  WOW!  Sounds like fun to me!!

And the Dims think EV’s are a viable alternative to gas vehicles.  Keep blindly following the fool in the WH.  Are you all really this stupid?  That question is for the libs/dims/sheeple.
