Serves the Liberal/Socialist/Environmentalist wackos right How bout those wonderful EV's. Not only do they blow up when exposed to water as in floods and hurricaines they also don't work in the cold. NICE!
Winter weather presenting EV owners with 'frustrating' challenges
Freezing temperatures and winter conditions plagued cities across the Midwest
By Madeline Coggins FOXBusiness
Electric vehicle owners faced a new string of challenges when frigid temperatures and wintry conditions gripped the Midwest.
"It's been a little frustrating," one woman told Fox Business. "I had to charge like multiple times every day the last couple days. I had to wait for like 45 minutes for a charger and then I pull in. It doesn't work, and then I pull out and then someone else takes the next charger. And then I had to wait again."
Electric vehicles are facing issues including decline in performance, weaker battery life, increased charge times and even long lines.
"I was at 50% when I got here, usually from 50 to like 80, 90% it will take like 10, 15 minutes. It's taking an hour and 20 minutes," one driver shared at a Tesla charge station near Chicago.
One expert told Fox Chicago that cold weather can impact the ability of electric vehicles to charge properly.
"It’s not plug and go. You have to precondition the battery, meaning that you have to get the battery up to the optimal temperature to accept a fast charge," said Mark Bilek of the Chicago Auto Trade Association.
