  • The misinformation is that they don’t work well in the cold. Truth be told, they are fantastic in the cold. I’d argue better than ICE. That’s a different topic for a different day though.

    You are, rightfully so, claiming batteries don’t like cold temperatures. What you fail to add are the mitigations companies make to solve these issues. That feels disingenous, unless you just didn’t know.

    If your phone had the capacity and function to heat itself up during outdoor use, it would also work brilliantly.

    So while I’m sure the scientific papers are great, without having read them, I’d guess they don’t include the whole picture either as if they would, we’d be in agreement.

    I tried finding where I called you any names and failed, but if you felt attacked then I appoligize for that. I have nothing against you or think you deserve that. We are just disagreeing on this one topic.

    Have a good night!


  • Which is why they are heated before being charged, either by the on-board heater if it’s been parked, or naturally by just driving the damn thing.

    You said EVs don’t work well in the cold. That is a demonstrably false statement by the fact that Norway has over 500 000 of them rolling around all year. You can post as many misinformed links supporting it as you wish. If it had any merit, we would not be at 90%+ adoption rating.

    Either you are the biggest genious in the world and we are half a million morons, or you are just wrong.
    The fact that I drive mine in weather spanning from -30 C to +25 C makes me suspect the latter.

    Have a good one, mate.






  • Then don’t heat up the battery, and see if it runs. Won’t work, because EV’s have to heat up the battery to get it working, because **they don’t function in extreme cold.**.

    Literally your quote that I responded to and the lane I’ve been trying to stick to and make you admit is blatantly wrong.
    You still haven’t which is proof to the rest of us you are ether a troll or an idiot.




  • Did you read your own links at all before sending them?

    Tesla owners line up, hoping to get a charge.

    You need more chargers. Not the cars fault.

    A charge that should take 45 minutes is taking two hours.

    Yes, like I said: cold batteries charge slower. This is well known. Drive a bit before expecting to push 200 kW into a frozen battery. I’ve ghit my max (155 kW) many times.

    Other drivers spoke about how the cold seemed to drain their batteries more quickly than normal.

    Also well known. All cars use more energy to heat up the cabin in winter, including ICE vehicles.

    Other Tesla drivers report no issues.

    Crazy, it works for some. Maybe they have these magical batteries you accused us of having?

    “We do get less mileage on the battery in extreme temps which means we have to charge more often” in the cold, she added.

    Which nobody ever denied being true.

    The problems that are being reported this week seem to center on long lines at Supercharger stations, Maslan said. But she adds that in nearly 10 years of owning a Tesla, she’s never had to wait for a Supercharger slot. Other than being mindful of the potential for reduced range, she concluded, “I’ve never had a problem driving the car due to the cold.”

    Incredible! Her car must be exported from Norway! Zero issues in 10 years, just like we experience here! Unbelieveable.

    I’m out of this argument now. You have demonstrated that you have absolutely zero knowledge of how EV’s work and you are a waste of everybodys time and energy.
    Stay clueless and ignorant, I don’t really care, but for anyone reading this in the future: surph_ninja literally argued batteries don’t work in the cold in a thread about EV’s being sold in the frozen hellhole called Norway. The irony is incredible.


  • The exact same batteries as you have in your EV’s, which is why you are either ill-informed or lying. I am guessing it’s the first, so I am arguing in good faith.

    Just take a step back: A country with 5,5 million people and 93% of all new cars are EV’s. Who has more knowledge on how they work in the cold? You, my new found friend on Lemmy, or us?
    Not trying to be snarky, but we drive them every single day in winter. Batteries do not need to be heated to work, so please stop spreading this lie.
    They DO however need a certain battery temp to charge, but that’s a different discussion.

    I’m not arguing against hydrogen cars. I am just correcting some if the claims you have made.
