    From an EV charger manufacturer:

    Most EV drivers know that cold weather can cause range loss in electric vehicles, and that running the heater can make the loss greater. But most drivers don’t consider the effect of hot weather.

    Extreme temperatures of any kind can have a detrimental effect on an EV, causing range loss, body wear and tear, and premature battery replacement. However, there are tips you can follow to get the most of your EV this summer while protecting it from severe weather conditions.

    According to CNBC, “lithium-ion batteries like the same sort of temperatures that we do”, and perform best at a balmy 70 degrees. EVs lose power under 65 degrees, and lose it quickly under 50 degrees, however, temperatures in excess of 86 degrees also rob the vehicle of power. It’s no wonder EVs use 15% more power in the Upper Midwest and Southwest than on the California coast.

    Not to $#!T on your point, but that’s the 110, and they’re walking AWAY from Pasadena (where the freeway ends, always pisses me off that you have to get off and why they just don’t connect it to the 210/134 - but I digress), and they’re actually headed South TOWARDS the border. You want Hollywood Bowl/‘Boys Town’ 101?!?!

    Probably more like this…..

    Equally as scary…..

    The technology isn't there yet. EV's still have their major problems. Extreme weather temps and charging stations with distance travel has always been one of them. The time it takes the charge the battery is another problem.

    These issues all make me want to not buy one.

    It's a 12 year old car. Found out this actually wasn't his car. He found this story in Florida. Sorry about the confusion.
