Norway is the world leader in EV sales, but now it’s crossed a new landmark: the first country with more EVs than gas cars in service.

Battery capacity plummets when temperatures drop really low.
Also charging is a whole lot slower
Which EV do you have where this is an issue? The ones I’ve had pre-heat the battery to optimal charging temperatures.
Not dure if it’d the batteries or the charging stations. But I have a ds3 e-tense and during like, -10c ish is just a pain to charge.
You can even tell in the winter cus the queues to charge is just so long.
VW. As far as I know they still don’t have battery pre-conditioning…
I have a VW ID.7 and it does - but I also believe that’s the first model on their “new platform”.
Glad they finally got around to it. I got last year’s Cupra Born which is basically the ID.3 and it’s utter trash software wise.
Yeah, the new platform is way better - one of the reasons we held on to the Tesla until the ID.7 was available.
