Optimally one would warm up their batteries before driving on a very cold day. That’s pretty simple to do when plugged to the grid.

Volvo has developed a methane fueled heater which can warm batteries and passengers in very cold places.

Once EVs get rolling their batteries give off heat.

People who live in very cold places already use the grid to warm up their gasmobiles.

Hi–I wonder how EV batteries hold up in cold climates? Haven’t seen any info on this.

You gotta burn at least one tank of gas a year to keep it fresh…. ;o)

Same for plug-ins with decent all electric range, especially if you drive them in EV 90% of the time…
