EV batteries slip in sub-zero temperatures

Batteries and extremely cold temperatures don’t mix, as many US owners of electric vehicles have found out the hard way. Without pre-journey preparation, batteries in super sub-zero conditions can lose much of their power and become harder to charge quickly. Unprepared owners who bought into the electric boom were left to sit in huge queues for public chargers in cities like Chicago, the New York Times reported, or face being stranded as their ranges shrank. The solution? Be more Scandi. Countries with some of the highest EV use also experience extreme cold, like Norway. But drivers there are used to preheating cars before a journey, and enjoy better charging infrastructure.
