For those in the northern hemisphere, winter will arrive in the next few months. This brought to mind that some people drive electric vehicles. There are two problems with electric vehicles. I thought I would discuss one of them - cold temperature.
As an electric vehicle travels in cold climates where the temperature falls below zero degrees C or 32 degrees F, the batteries cannot travel the same distance as they do when the temperature is warmer. They are temperature dependent. In the past during some winters, the electric vehicle car would come to a dead stop in the middle of the road when the batteries went dead. This can be very alarming.
So if you drive an all electric vehicle remember that winter can cause your engine to go DEAD.
